Normally made of medium-carbon steel, crowbars can alternatively be made from titanium, which has the advantage of being lighter. Commonly crowbars are forged from long steel products, either hexagonal or sometimes cylindrical stock. Alternative designs may be forged with a rounded I-shaped cross-section shaft.

Are crowbars hollow?

Excels in strength and load resistance although the middle part is hollow. Comes with a tapered tail, so hole matching can be done.

Do crowbars make good knives?

The same grades and formulas of steel used to craft worthwhile tools like wrenches, drivers, and crowbars can be used to make high-quality knives. This is why it's such a popular project to use salvaged materials made from tool steel to forge knives and other blades without having to spend money on new stock.
