Here's my latest creation from an old Studebaker leaf spring I didn't know I had. Pretty sure my friend Wayne gave it to me several years ago and I must have gotten excited about something else then. Nice surprise to find this old spring. The blade is 7 3/4", wrought iron fittings and some type of deer crown. Tried something new as far as the sheath goes. I really like it and plan to make more. Actually this one is 3 layers. The first inner sheath is 1/4" leather with a welt in at the spine. Then treated the same way I have been doing them. Studebaker leaf springs should be 9260. It sure wasn't 5160.
