I've been lookin around on the internet for some L-6 flat stock for a small bowie I plan on making someday but all anyone seems to stock in tool steels is W-2 or D-2 and a bit of Damascus(www.knifekits.com) anybody know where I can get some?
 
If you have your heart set on L6, I can offer what I did. So far as I know, L6 is only made by Crucible and Carpenter now, in rounds and thick flats. (The flat stuff that used to be sold as L6 by Admiral was actually 15N20 or something similar) I ordered some thicker bars from Carpenter and had Tim Zowada forge/roll them down to a thickness I could work with for stock removal. You may be able to do something similar; there may be others willing to do such work.
