If you insist on using odd steels remember if it has been hardened before then it's OK to forge like mower blades, but some leaf springs may not work out as well as some of the newer ones aren't that great. Always take a small piece and heat to orangish red and quench. See how hard it is. Run a file across it, if it skips then temper at 400 for an hour and do what I said before. Buying some 1084 is a better idea though.
