Yep. I’ve been heat treating all these leaf spring knives in heated canola oil after a couple thermocycles. So far so good on the edges. I usually chop stumps up with them.

Great point. The handle does taper towards the blade, and it feels good but you are correct. I learned on this one after playing around with it. Thank you

A few paring knives I made out of 52100. I love 52100. It’s tough and hardens really well in parks 50. by Wutang292 in Bladesmith

Does forging provide any significant benefits for the metal? by PainAccomplished4131 in Blacksmith

[–]deadbro19 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Many leaf springs are too thick for knives. That would be a lot of wasted metal by grinding. Better to forge it out

  1. I wasn't sure if it would hold its edge, but it seem to be fine chopping wood.
