FORGING A KNIFE FROM A COIL SPRING (PART 1)

In this first part of forging a knife from a coil spring I forge the shape and heat treat the blade. In part two I will be attaching a handle

A coil! Amazing. I'm looking forward to the next one.

Nice! I liked when you were drilling the holes. All those little bits of steel look cool.

Cool! Can't wait to see it all finished

Good ol 5160. Nice job! Most use Parks 50 to quench everything when Parks AAA is for 5160. It is best to normalize 3 times at a lower temp each time before quench. Then temper right after quench. I notice most temper at 400, that is too high of a Rockwell for me, I temper 5160 at 450 to stay within 57-58 Rockwell.
