Looking for Kitchen knife blanks with bolsters

[Redrummd]

I am trying to find GOOD quality stainless steel kitchen knife blanks with attached bolsters for doing stonework scales.

I am not into making knives as my passion is the stoneworks. I want to make a kitchen knife set for each of my daughters and their husbands for Christmas.

I can find 440C knife blanks but none have attached bolsters except for a few by GUDE in Germany. With the dollar being so low in value to the EURO they are out of an acceptable price range.

I am looking for five knives: large chefs; small chefs; bread slicing; carver; paring

So, I thought I would try here to see if anyone knows of a source.......

I'm not sure I've ever seen any kitchen knives with bolsters. Premium Knife Supplies has a wide assortment of blanks that could be used as such. Women love their fillet knives in the kitchen, but they don't have bolsters. You can also buy bolsters and put them on anything you want to.

Redrummd, Jantz Supply has a series of VG10 laminated kitchen knife blanks that have an integral bolster. They are hidden tang, don't know how they'd work with stone. You're probably looking for a full tang, but here's the link so you can take a look:

Unfortunately I need a full tang..... I may need to learn how to attach bolsters myself. I could probably do a search and find out how.........
