THR,
I have a hankering for putting a knife together and wanted to know where people get their blades from.
I am looking for a simple but utility blade with either a drop or clip point.
I figure I get myself a decent blade and throw on a handle, but I am not sure where to start.
I think I am looking for high carbon, 1095, D2 or even 1075 (I guess).
I found this one in D2:
http://whole-earth-supply.com/produ...ng-knife-blank-knives-blades-+brass-guard.php
but will be the first to admit I am not sure what makes a good steel and how to find reputable manufacturers.
Any help would be appreciated!
