I did a lot of reading around last night, and from what I've read, if you get a used farrier rasp, it's almost guaranteed not to be case hardened as long as it's a name brand. I also found a few farriers on various forums who said they had 200 or 400 used rasps and didn't know what to do with them, so maybe it would be easy to get used farrier rasps if you can just get in touch with a farrier. There's an on line directory that lists farriers in Texas.
There also seems to be a consensus out there that farrier rasps heat treat like 1095, and some people are convinced that they ARE 1095, or something close to it.
Two of the most popular brands of farrier rasps out there are Save Edge (the most popular) and Heller Legend. Both apparently make very good knives.
