Re. your posts about knives made from the leaf-springs of vehicles.
Seems to be a common practice in the East to use/re-cycle left-over car springs as I have a souvenir knife from my time in Gan (1958), allegedly made from the springs of a vehicle left behind on the island when the Brits departed Gan (Addu Atoll) at the end of WW2. See below.














Still razor-sharp, it comes in useful when a particularly hard-to-open cardboard box needs opening!
