You just want some good forge fodder that's easier to work with, pick up the big lock washers that go with the bolts mentioned above. It's obvious that they are made of spring steel - application, application, application. They are supposed to be 1084 series but actually work and respond better to a 1095 heat treatment. Make excellent blades. I can get 2 -3 blades per washer, depending on blade size. You can get a lot more of them in your pocket or possibles pouch than the other stuff and you don't have to mess with a lot of cutting or stock reduction. Try them out.
