I’m not sure if you’d need to flatten the leaf spring before cutting the blank on your table.

A few knife blanks for our blacksmith friend cut from old bandsaw blade. The material was warped all over the place. Before I got the pieces they were heated and beat “straight” . I ran them through a roller and got them a little flatter and then tacked the pieces to the cutting table. There really wasn’t enough room in between the pieces but I cut it like that anyways. Had a couple little bites in some of the pieces because of thermal distortion but all in all it turned out pretty decent. Sure…
