This post somehow escaped my notice. Do you still want some info on working such materials SS?

Thinking about the situation it might be easier to make a crossbow from an Anglia spring than a knife.

You are going to need a forge, and a good sized one at that, just to get the arch out of the spring, normalize it so you can work it, then reheat it for hardening.

Last one I did was a large sax blade with reindeer antler slabs for handle scales.

That one was made from the seat spring off an old horse drawn wagon.
