Robert where did you buy your steel from? I can get pre-made blades but I would like to get blanks I can grind down myself. I did a knife but it was from a chunk of steel I got from a friend who works in a welding shop.

Try Jantz supply out of Oklahoma. I haven't done knives in a long time but they were very good about 10 years ago. I checked their website before I posted this to make sure they were still there. They have blades and blanks.

I've got some billets from here: http://www.alabamadamascussteel.com/servlet/StoreFront

It's excellent steel, and I've several small blades with outstanding results (I don't have the facilities for forging larger blades). The site also has some instructions for re-etching the steel after shaping/polishing with ferric chloride from radio shack.

Very nice work on the sheath.
