For craftsmen who demand superior performance, this high-quality leaf spring material is designed for precision and durability. Made from premium carbon stainless steel, it meets the rigorous standards of elite custom automatic knife makers. Heat-treated to 40-45 RC, this spring steel maintains its resilience and strength over time, unlike work-hardened 301 or 302 stainless steel, which can weaken with use.
With a thickness of .070 inches and a width of .160 inches, this spring stock provides aggressive action and reliable tension, making it an excellent choice for custom automatic knives, firearm components, and other high-stress applications. The 12-inch length allows for easy customization, letting you shape the material to fit your specific project needs.
