What hedgehunter said.
Seems like an awful lot of work though, if you want/need clean stock you can buy a piece of high carbon barstock for around $20

Handforged:
Another thing to consider: Rasp steel is extremely variable. It can contain any number of alloys depending on the maker. Heat treating them can be a pain in the butt. It's often stated that they are 1095 steel which is true but not always the case. If you want to play with them stick to one brand, work on a good heat treat and move along
