Where is a good place to get some spring metal for a project?

[The Tourist]

For a khukri or a stiletto?

[hangtime]

where to obtain spring tempered steel depends on how much you want, how much you are willing to pay and what type of "project" you have in mind. A few details might help you get a better answer.

Go to an auto wreckers and get the springs from an old truck. Kukri smiths in Nepal seem to prefer the ones from Mercedes trucks.

[Al Thompson]

Agree with CWL - almost any auto repair place should have what you need for very cheap. Junk yard, body shop..

Try to get leaf springs from a Volvo, Saab, Mercedes, or older (pre-60's) US junker.
