The Scrap Metal Blade Shard is a broken piece of a crude metal blade. It is a small, sharp scrap of iron.

Its main value is knowledge. The Research Craft option on the shard teaches Forge Simple Blade and Forge Scrap Metal Shortsword, two early smithing recipes. After that, it is good for smelting down to iron or steel at a furnace. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.

Uses

Research Craft is the first thing to do with a shard. It teaches Forge Simple Blade and Forge Scrap Metal Shortsword. Those recipes open the way to forging basic blades.

Smelting is the second use. Smelt Iron From Small Item gives one Iron Chunk at a Primitive or better Furnace. Smelt Steel From Small Iron Item gives one Steel Chunk at an Advanced Furnace. Smelt Small Iron Item puts the metal into a ceramic crucible at a Simple or better Furnace.

The shard holds the same small amount of iron as a piece of Scrap Metal for these recipes. Both count as small iron items and give one chunk each.
