Thanks Wayne I appreciate your input. I planned on sending it off to trugrit.com they seem to be the cheapest and they have cyro which is important for AEBL

Check out hidden treasures of la on ebay. It's 1.14 per inch cheapest place I found and shipping was pretty quick

Since I'm in florida I almost feel obligated to use stainless. Thanks for the help john

I'm about 2 hours north of you by ocala. I plan to do just a simple drop point fixed blade about 7.5 in OAL

Wow Bruce 88 huh? That's the year I was born! :biggrin: justin shows I have a long way to go. Here is my first "knife" not really a knife cause it's HD steel

Well gents after acquiring a 2x42 and ruining about 7ft of HD metal I'm ready to step it up to real metal. Imy on a very tight budget due to only being on disability. So I have about a 30 dollar budget for some steel. I'm in West central florida so humidity sucks. But should I start off with...

Thanks for the replies guys. There is definitely a learning curve to this craft lol. I'm just having a hard time figuring out what angle to put the blade against the grinder. Especially do it without getting my finger haha
