Fingernail file surface effect like the (multipurpose hook with file)

Hi, I was thinking i could add this effect to the surface of a backspring. Anyone else done somthing like that?

Not that I know of, but I could be wrong.  Do you have a plan as to how you might achieve the effect?

Dremel /rototool(ish), I have got that type of effect on some aluminum reflectors for flashlights but was thinking the SS back spring would be tuff/hard

I’m  new to moding SAKs. Had my first attempt be a failure (bent a 2.5 mm pin, the throwing it against the wall did make it better). 2nd was a successful build of a scientist which I’m EDCing.

I guess it should work, as long as it's sides stay smooth.
And won't it get gummed up from fingernail material that will be filed off?

Me to.  Despite hunting through many rusty boxes at car boot sales I've yet to acquire any and like you say, they're pricey new
