Nice! As a kid I used to watch a blacksmith make knives out of railroad spikes and leaf springs. I would go there so often he ended up making me a little friction lock folder, which I still have.



Not sure what he used for steel, but it takes an edge quite well (one could shave with it) and has no problem holding that edge. If your fixed blade is anything like my little folder in that regard, it should make for a great knife.
