My first for the year.....
This blade was in a very large batch of forgings I did over a 3 week period. The blade was forged out of a Nash/Metro leaf spring from 1959. Not sure what the steel is, by the spark I am getting from it it looks nothing like any spring steel I have ever used. I've got a piece in to be analized so should know in a few weeks. The blade is 7 1/2" with a total length of 12 1/2". My standard wrought iron fittings and a blackwood handle.

Mike, This knife is so quick it just about jumps out of the hand. Balance point is at the front of the guard. The spring started being 1/4" with a distale taper forged into it and then a convex grind. Its 3/16" at the base of the spine and slims down to the point.
