Spring steel from Jantz

[just bob]

Just wondered if anyone had ordered this product from Jantz? Is this suitable for the lock bar on a lockback knife? If so and you bend it to shape do you have to heat treat it after it is bent? They don't give much info on this but have 2 different sizes. It is hard to find any the right width for these. This might work great. Input appreciated.

depending on the size you buy it is perfect for making the butt end springs for lockblades like LB7 and buck 110. It does not require heat treating and can be cut with (very) strong nippers, or use a dremel and a cut off wheel. You can cut it all the way through or score it about 1/2 way through then snap it off in a vice.
