25 New Railroad Spikes

We use these for awards, painting them gold, silver and bronze and then writing on them with magic marker. They were perfect for our purposes.

Excellent. I will be reordering. This is the economy seller I have tried to buy these from. The first one failed to deliver. This seller shipped quickly. The spikes are perfect. Not a spot if rust. I make throwing hatches and knives with them.

Ok

Product came brand new marked HC haven't made a knife yet

I would give 0 stars here if I could. How can advertise new railroad spikes and show pictures of clean rust free spikes and then deliver something the complete opposite and covered from head to spike with rust? Extremely disappointed with these so anyone purchasing these expect to get what you see in the attached picture not what the seller is showing.

Good brand new spikes. BUT......whatever additions combined with the steel will not allow you to forge with. If you try to forge high carbon to these, it will fail, no matter how hot you get the steel. Recommend using very old spikes for forging with other steels or metals.

Arrived quickly as described. All 25 of mine were brand new with no rust. Thanks.

While the spikes I received will serve my purposes of practicing and learning basic smithing, they are far from new as advertised. Only about 3 or 4 were even straight, and at a minimum, all had at least moderate corrosion and minor pitting. The attached image is pretty representative of the lot. I would have added some of the worst as well, but I already used those four as my first projects. I'm giving 2 stars because I thought they were still a decent value overall, just not as advertised.
