Rhinoknives has a very good plan.

If you want to go from scratch, The best steel would probably be AEB-L. It should be .060" or even .040" thick. After shaping the blades, harden the pieces and grind the edge at around 10 degrees ( one side only).

Shaping the blades before hardening will be pretty easy. A hacksaw, and some files should do it. You will need some sharpening skills and some elbow grease, but the edge could be shaped on a set of sharpening stones if a variable speed belt grinder isn't available. The hardening would have to be done by someone with an oven and the equipment for stainless steel, but there are plenty of them in Iowa.

If you make the wooden part and give it to a knifemaker, he should easily be able to make the blades as I described above.

did I head someone say .040 AEBL :)
