Where in the bradenton/Sarasota area could i find leaf springs and coil springs, possibly old tools like axes, hammers, saws.

So I'm a blacksmith/bladesmith and sort of pride myself on using older tools and reclaimed materials like old leaf springs and such, but i haven't been able to find any since coming to Florida and I'm not sure where to look, if anyones got any they wanna get rid of maybe we can talk and figure something out.

Looking for leaf springs or coil springs for knife material, trade for knife of custom design.

If you have any leaf springs or high carbon steel, contact me through messages and we can take it from there. Mainly I'm looking for leaf springs or coil springs, but any high carbon steel can do, old tools such as stone chisels, axes, saws, hammers, stuff like that.

Thanks :)

I have a question for any knife people or folks of the similar.

Where in Florida would be a good place to potentially go to and meet other people interested in blacksmithing/bladesmithing, and or places to sell/buy items made by such folks, I'm a blacksmith/bladesmith and have been trying to reach folks with similar hobbies. I hope this isn't considered a advertisement since its got the words buy/sell lol

Finished some more knives, a little edc clip point and a farriers rasp bowie knife.

I was wondering how many people nowadays even actually use or buy knives, and where are those people who do? I'm trying to expand on my little business and any help or direction would be appreciated.
