hubert1979 Report post Posted November 22, 2012 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David8386 Report post Posted November 22, 2012 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. David Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TwinOaks Report post Posted November 22, 2012 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.
