beatiful looking knife there coach,

i guess you moved into the knife making game now hey :D

i went for a walk through the bush with a mate the other day and found some suspension springs, reckon they would be any good to make a knife out of ?

Thanx ,, it's still just a hobby :)

I "think" car springs are made from 5160 , which is alright for knife making . Maybe someone else could confirm this ????

That is a nice blade and I like the shape of the handle on this one.

cool, thanks for that coach,

i gotta keep asking questions and keep learning new stuff all my mates reckon i know a lot about knives, but compaired to you guys i wouldnt touch the surface,

i was planning on using the springs to make each one of my mates a small knife with our camp group name engraved on it,

if you dont mind i really like the design of the knife you sold to me, so i was planning on using a similar design.

will definately be using you guys as a resource :D
