I'm currently in the beginng stages of making my own throwing knife for my home range but would also like to be able to use it at events. Is there any reason to use good carbon steel or would a scrap piece work plenty well? Also, what thickness would be good for an 8" blade and 12 1/2" overall length knife?

If you can get an old leaf spring, that worked for me.
