When I find the old leaf springs I heat treat and temper them like I would 5160 after I run a couple of normalizing heats on them. I use two Evenheat ovens and try to hit exact temperatures for hardening and tempering. They make nice knives. I have quite a few bars of bought 5160 that I make...

I think it looks great! It should work from squirrels to fish quite nicely!

I forged this one from an old leaf spring. It has a 6” blade with a 4-1/2” deer tine handle, iron pin and pewter bolster. Thanks for looking!!

Thank you men! I appreciate the compliments!

You bet buddy! If you have any questions send me a pm and I can help you as best I can. Not much to it really though.

Thank you sir! I normally just sand the end where it is porous and buff it pretty good with beeswax and/or carnauba so it is really smooth.
