It's a knife, but not for the kitchen

Forged a draw knife from 5160ish rail car spring. I have to work at finding stock sized closer to the finished product. it was a lot of work turning a 7/8 inch piece of coil spring into a draw knife. Here it is normalizing before being quenched. Had to bend the reigns in so it would fit in my temper oven. (toaster oven). I'll use a torch to bend them out later.

 

You have been busy Mike!
Looks very serviceable indeed.

 

Can’t wait to see more on this project.

 

thanks guys, I'll get to it soon.

 

I wonder what happens afterwards.
