I just made my first slip joint folder. I want to heat treat the blade and wonder if i should heat treat the spring? It is made from 1084 steel. I also wonder why other knifemakers have said the spring should not fit flat and square against the knife tang and should only hit the blade tang a little on the top and bottom and not square and flush. I bought the Don Robinson book but he uses some other type steel and doesn't elaborate on the spring and blade fit. Thanks for any help.
