Can you harden camshaft Steel?

Having a new camshaft put in the truck.

Will camshaft steel harden or just take a surface hardening?

Anyone know what kind of steel the early [1968] big block cams are made from?

I would like to make 3 or 5 knives from the old cam.

Don't want to put in 40 or 50 hours and then find out it is mild steel

Thanks!
