Weird...two posts......oh well....thanks for the help guys. I have read that it is possible that springs like these could be 5160 or a similar steel, decent for blades.....any truth to this? I am sure it should be fine for cheese knives, openers, cork screws and misc. Stuff.....right?

Very cool! Thanks.....that's roughly what I figured, just by looking at it. I see corkscrews, bottle openers, small knives and stuff in these springs!

A local commercial garage door guy has given me two sets of springs. I have a smaller set, that rod is about 1/4 inch and the second set is pretty close to 3/8 inch........I probably have thirty feet of each if I uncoiled it. My question is, when forging this 3/8 rod out, is there enough material to pound out small knives? I guess I am asking, approximately how wide can I expect for this to come out, if I get it down to, say, 1/8 inch?
