Home Forums Gear Knives and Blades A really, really rustic EDC

Found this old leaf spring in an antique shop in Arkansas. My best guess it that it was a spring for the seat on a horse drawn wagon or buggy. I'd have to guess that it's over 100 years old.
I thought it would be cool to make a few really rustic knives from it.



Except for the sheath it's as finished as it's going to get. I really don't know if I'll make another one out of the spring or not. I don't think I could sell it for enough to justify all of the hours that I have in it but it's more rustic than anything I've ever done.
