I've had a little piece of buggy spring about 3" long sitting on the lid of a trash can in my shop for about a year and finally decided to see if I could turn it into a blade. With something that small first thing I did was hammer the width back into itself and turned it from 1 1/4" X 3" X 1/4" to 1" X 5" X 1/4" and then I forged it into a blade. I now have a finished knife. The blade is 5" and overall its 9 1/2". The piece of sambar stag was alittle shorter than what I wanted for this handle so I added a rosewood spacer. Iron was again used for the fittings.
