melsdad:
I will be looking forward to the future pictures Jerry. I am sure they will be outstanding.

Indiana:
If you have an extra knife made from a trapspring, I'd be willing to buy it from you... let me know!

jbullard1:
I'll probably have one  

jtwodogs:
Now I know what to look for at old flea markets. question?
Do you heat the spring and pound out the curve? If so, then is the metal re-heated, to what color? and then quenched in oil? To bring the temper back?

Just trying to find out how it is done so I can make one.
Thanks

jbullard1:
I heat the bend until it just starts to show a red color and hammer out flat. I do not  heat any more
