Title: knife steel
Post by: pablo on November 12, 2009, 12:44:45 PM
can someone direct me to a source of o1 tool steel for knife making here in n.i.

thanks Paul.

ive ordered three half metre lengths of 4mmx30mm from PHOENIX STEELS in sheffield.apparently its the same place uncle rays mate alan wood gets his steel.

recon i`ll get enough for two bushcraft knives and a pair of cracker katanas as well.
just need to source a pair of black pyjamas and a balaclava then i,ll be all set for the overnighter.

im off to google `head shrinking `on google now. ;)
