I posted a while back that I was sending two sheets of stainless CPM154 to be laser cut.They came back last week.Excellent job - GREAT price.
The company is B&H Tool Works.Frank Spalding is the person I dealt with.
They cut 28 blades from the two sheets and charged me $220 ,no shipping charges.These were large blades.I will recommend them to anyone needing laser cutting.They were easy to deal with,fast turn around,and good value.They will do one piece or a hundred.

No. I drew out the cutting on the sheets and they imported the photos of the sheets into the CAD.You can send a drawing,template,CAD program,or prototype to them and they will cut it out.They can provide some types of metal,or you can use your own.They were quick to answer any communications and billed me after I had received the cut blanks.If there was any set up fee it was in the total price.Since the price worked out to be about $7 per blade,I find it a good deal.The total I have in each blank is around $15.Quality steel,repeatable blade shape,time efficient - all add up to satisfied customers and more enjoyable knifemaking.
