Brihaji, those blades have real character, the patina of age. I too cut my teeth (pun intended) on knives made by blacksmiths out of car leaf springs in coonoor.
Now you have lit a fire under me, must get out my old collection, degrease them and send you some pics.

> Yes! Whenever I look & handle those old blades, my memory rewinds bringing back those formative years when I stood by the blacksmith forge to see him hammer a leaf spring to shape
> Look forward to seeing your collection
