Is there a list of suppliers of knife making materials?

[Marion David Poff]

So,

I just heard about Sullivan Steel.

And I learned some time ago about getting micarta from industrial suppliers, because it is cheaper....

What are the suppliers you use for materials?

And lesser known suppliers known for hard to find items?

Inexpensive sources of good abrasives?

I got this link out of the 'newbies-good info here' thread. This is listed under tutorials, scroll down to the Supplier list 1 & 2

Tracy's store. It rules. (Even though I'm yet to get anything that I have to PAY for from him)

And, I have lots of wood that I get locally.

Lately everyone has been SO nice trying to rope me into this knife makin stuff they have been giving me stuff and I haven't had to buy anything. If I had known that before I bought a bunch of tools I woulda just waited till someone gave me something, you know, like a grinder.

I think it's some kind of devious plot.

I've got links to several knifemaker supply houses on my links page, here. Some other pretty good links too, if I do say so myself...
