Thanks everybody. Like WOW said most coil springs and leaf springs are 5160 steel which works very well for knives. Quenched in Parks 50. Not every brand of horse rasps make good knife steel. A lot of them are just case hardened and to soft for knives. The heller red tang rasp quenched in a salt water brine (Super Quench) harden very well. It’s a shame because I have a ton of Belotta Rasps but could not get them to harden.
