[cjd1980]

Hey guys
I'm trying to find a source for 3/4" or 1" W2 round or square stock I'm looking to do some integral hunting knives with a hamon, and I don"t have a power hammer so I don't want anything too huge thanks for the help

Might want to try W1, I have bought it from amazon. W2 could be very difficult or impossible to find.

only source would be some of Don's W2 stock, but that stuff is now a literal precious metal. down to my last bar right now and lamenting not getting more when it's gone up for resale.

1" gives you around 55mm at the heel or more.depending on how u do it
3/4 prob more suited for hunter size blade
I forge 1" by hand all the time
A lot of effort but well worth it
Enjoy
