Stainless Damascus

[RickJoW]

Hi Folks. I was wondering if anyone knew where to source stainless steel damascus blanks/flat bar? Ive made a few blades now and one in stainless, only not damascus. Can anyone suggest a source?

Thanks

Nichols Damascus can get you taken care of. There are others as well though such as Devin Thomas and Mike Norris.

...Vegas Forge, Dion Damascus...almost any knife supply house (AKS, USAKnifemaker, Maker Material Supply, Pops, etc...)

Check out a website called Breathtaking Steel. They have some really cool Damascus

Is that the Russian knives outlet, or is there another one? They do have some cool blade blanks for sale.

Excellent info guys. Some great stuff on those pages. Im from the UK and I was hoping there would be a UK or at least European supplier? We pay so much to ship from the US and then there is the tax..

Damasteel is Swedish, and I imagine the heat treat would basically be the same as for CPM154, that might be more accessible to you, although it's expensive either way.

There are a few UK based knife steel suppliers that may have stainless damascus listed. GFS knife supply, Jayger supply, and Baltic Blades comes to mind.
