Making A Knife From A Car’s Leaf Spring

Making a knife is a satisfying project on a number of levels. You’re creating a fundamental tool — one of the first tools ever made — and every time you pick it up, you’ll think, “Wow, I made this with my own hands.” And because you’re making the knife, you’ll be able to adjust its shape to fit your specific needs

Even if you wanted to try your hand at knife making, going to the scrap yard and picking up an old leaf spring from a car or truck won’t cost you the earth! The spring is made from fantastic steel and can withstand a lot of bashing. This makes for a great survival knife! Check out this great project below…
