Ok..... I started with a piece of what I think was a leaf spring of some type. The stock is 1/8" thick. Using a hacksaw and a dremel tool I've gotten this far (around 2.5 hours of work).

I haven't been careful at all about letting the steel get hot. It's gotten too hot to touch a few times. Was I correct in guessing that this wouldn't effect the blade since no heat treat has been done or do I now have a wall hanger?
What do I do next? I am guessing that I should clean it up a bit more, and then start grinding the blade down.
Thank you all!
