Folder Springs
Posted: Sat Jan 03, 2009 12:12 am
Worked all day on making a back spring for a folder and just can't get it. I used 1095 high carbon, heat treated and annealed. It broke at the back pin. Does anyone know a steel that makes a good spring with minimum heat treating to harden. Or, is there a steel that can be used without heat treating? I saw someone on the forum had purchased a bunch of springs. Does anyone know who it is, do they want to sell any? Does anyone know of a place that sells springs? Thanks for the help. Brent.
