Where to get blanks?

[kester]

Hi there,
just wondering Where to get blank designs as i don't want to go to the trouble of making a knife and find it's only good for the cupboard.
Thanks.

Thanks for that, gives me a couple of good design ideas.

I possess several Brusletto blades that were apparently intended for Steve Morseth in the 1960s? I got them from http://www.ragweedforge.com/BruslettoCatalog.html. Blades are laminated high-carbon steel, much thicker than what Brusletto makes available today -- that is, about .180 inch (4.6 mm), 4.75 inches (120 mm) blade length (See graphic). Morseth catalogued a general purpose knife apparently created from this blade (See graphic).

The Brusletto blades have been poorly beveled. For someone making a knife from these blades, cleaning up the bevel is a cost of doing business.

Ragnar had few of these when I bought them. If these are no longer available, I am willing to sell to you.
