One of the "cottage industries" that bloomed in Viet Nam during the war was knife-making. The primary steel used was from the leaf-springs of wrecked jeeps, which were then shaped and ground down to a fine edge. I imagine that any automobile leaf-spring will work well. All you need is a junk-yard and a grinder.

These knives, by the way, were excellent and really held an edge.

Yes that's what the survival knife pictured on my Facebook site is made from. Other good sources of steel are old files and garden shears.
