Try these railroad spikes when forging your first knife, hatchet, tomahawk, letter opener, bottle opener, etc.

  • Drop forged in the USA
  • 5/8" x 6" - Medium Carbon 
  • Forge finish with mill scale - no coating

The carbon for these MC forging railroad spikes is approximately 0.19% C and other alloys (see below).  The goal was to provide a railway spike with the higher strength of the high-carbon spike and the impact resistance and ductility of the low-carbon spike. The Medium Carbon (MC) specification has a tensile strength average closer to 55,000 psi, which is high for a low-to-medium carbon product. Thus, the result is railroad spikes that have the advantage of improved impact resistance and improved ductility, while maintaining a relatively high strength.

These railroad spikes feature a forge or mill finish as they leave the mill. (They may be scaley and/or have surface rust).
