The Simple Sword Blade Shard is the offcut left when a long blade is cut down at the forge. It is a small piece of iron with a usable edge.
The shard is good for small blades. Forge Simple Blade turns it into a Simple Metal Blade, and Forge Small Knife turns it into a Small Knife. Make Shiv binds it into a Shiv with no forge at all. A spare one also melts down into iron.
It comes out of Forge Simple Shortsword Blade as a by-product. Using Research Craft on it teaches Forge Simple Blade and Forge Scrap Metal Shortsword. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.
Uses
Forge Simple Blade takes one shard and one Charcoal at a Primitive or better Forge. It needs no skill. A hammer and pliers or tongs are kept. The result is a Simple Metal Blade.
Forge Small Knife takes the shard and two Charcoal at the same forge, with Blacksmithing 1. The result is a Small Knife.
Make Shiv needs no forge. It takes the shard and a binding or tape, with a whetstone, file or saw kept. It needs Maintenance 1 and makes a Shiv.
As scrap, it counts as a small iron item. 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.
