I gotta nice Booee(Bowie) knife you can use, if needed. It has a 13.5" long, razor sharp blade made of high carbon steel. Now, that's a knife. I also brought home a leaf spring off an 18 wheeler, and I hope to make my own cutlery out of it. Gonna take some serious forging, it's mighty thick in spots, as I'm sure any truckers or truck mechanics here can affirm.
