There's nothing wrong with overkill! Big Grin

Spring steel is easy to find, and it would make great garden tools.

1018 would be fine. It should be easy to source locally. That's probably what garden tools are made of.

Actually, I think T-posts are 1018. Whatever they are, that sort of mild carbon steel would work.

Railroad spikes are good mild steel.
