Seax from a leaf spring
Hawkdancer:
Nice! Got to cut the old leaf spring into useable pieces.

WhistlingBadger:
Very nice!
JW_Halverson:
Nice juxtaposition of finely finished handle and raw looking blade. I'm kinda getting into that bushcrafty sorta thing and I could see this blade being a workhorse in the woods.

did that keep the spine nice and soft?
i was always under the impression that an edge quench or blue backing was a better option for a deep hardening steel like 5160.
i'm only asking cause i got near no experience with that steel other than it has a great reputation for blade steel.
bubby:
Kevin it kept it soft enough lol, this was some hard to move stuff. I did temper it in a toaster oven 375 twice. Holds a great edge chopping 2x4 in two
