Any knife nuts out there? Use the steel

sorta a totally different subject, but has anyone made any old-school knives from leaf-springs?
that's shit is burly, usually made from 5160 steel, I've heard these are popular in third world countries as they can cut through hard bamboo without dulling too badly (bamboo is strong shit)
I have an extra 4" vortex fan that I don't use (used to be set up for dual 400w HIDS) but I've been thinking of making a forge with it and some bricks
pretty cool
course I don't need another fuckin hobby...
