You didn't hear it from me, but rumor has it some work with an angle grinder can transform a leaf spring from the wrecking yard into a reasonable facsimile of a sword.

I can confirm that - sword blades are frequently made from the exact same alloy as leaf springs.
Oddly enough, there is a really old book in my library called The Boy Mechanic that shows you precisely how to make a crossbow out of a leaf spring.
Say no more. I am certainly not holding this information tightly within for my next
swordleaf spring harvesting opportunity...
