Hi guys! I am new to blade smithing, and just made my first knife a week ago. I live in Norway and here, it is quite diffucult to get your hands on high carbon steels. But i was so lucky that i got my hands on a spring steel. It was sold as 15 LM spring steel.
Composition:
 

C Si Mn P S Cr
0.76 0.2 0.7 ≤0.020 ≤0.010 0.19

But i am not sure what kind of knife this would work on. What would u recomand?
