Yes, you can mix. As far as the minimum, give him a call. You can send in less than 20 blades.

If you send less than 20 the price per blade is 14 dollars
plus shipping and packing,Doing 20 blades is much cheaper to do
You can mix differnt steel types as far as I know,just make sure
that they are marked on the tang what steel they are.Paul is the best there is,i have tried a couple others but end up going back to Paul,the price is worth what he does and is show in the end product.
the knike is only as good as it's heat Treat

I have used his services before and it was the final factor in my decision to farm out all stainless HT. I just didn't think it would be feasable for a short run, but I will definatly look into it more closely. Guess I had better start grinding some more.

Ws. Just got back to work today,been trying yo keep my house from going up in flame, its realy bad out here. I have a $70.00 min it will do up to 20 blades, you can mix the st\stls. If you add air hardining tool stls. its an extra $10.00. I will do single blades for $14.00 per blade up to 5 then it goes to the the min. If you send me your Mailing address I will send you a brochure and price list. Thank you Paul.
