The Long Simple Metal Blade is a roughly forged length of metal with a cutting edge. It is an early Blacksmithing part for knives and spears.
It has two main uses. Assemble Crude Knife fits it to a Small Handle to make a Long Simple Metal Knife. The Bind Spear Head recipes lash it to a Long Stick or Sapling to make a Spear with Long Simple Metal Head.
The blade is forged at a Primitive Forge or better at Blacksmithing level 3. Old knife blades and half bars can be reworked into one. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.
Uses
Assemble Crude Knife takes the blade, one Small Handle and one weapon binding. It needs Maintenance level 1. The result is a Long Simple Metal Knife.
Bind Spear Head takes the blade, a Long Stick or Sapling and two Zip Ties, Leather Strips or Twine. It needs Maintenance level 1 and gives a Spear with Long Simple Metal Head. Bind Spear Head With Duct Tape uses tape instead. Bind Spear Head With Wire uses two Wire or Electrical Wire, with pliers kept.
The blade counts as a medium iron item for smelting. Smelt Iron From Medium Item gives two Iron Chunk in a furnace. Smelt Steel From Medium Iron Item gives two Steel Chunk in an Advanced Furnace.
The three Sharpen Blade recipes restore its edge with a whetstone, a file or a Grindstone.
How to Get Long Simple Metal Blade
Forge Long Simple Blade makes it. It takes two pieces of charcoal and one Iron Bar Half or Steel Bar Half. A Large Knife Blade, Meat Cleaver Blade or Hunting Knife Blade can be reworked the same way. A hammer and pliers or tongs are kept, and crude tongs also work. It runs at a Primitive Forge or better and needs Blacksmithing level 3.
Dismantle Bladed Item takes a Long Simple Metal Knife apart and returns the blade. Dismantle Long Implement does the same for a Spear with Long Simple Metal Head. Both use a hammer, club hammer or mallet.
