Survival Knife Blank

[aaron4mvp]

Hello, I am just getting into knife making and am new to the forum, but I have a question about finding a specific knife blank shape. Does anyone know where to find a blank that has been heat treated already that is similar to this... I am looking for something thick, but not so long and pointy like a bowie knife. I really don't have the resources to create my own shape out of steel, and wanted to buy a blank and put my own handle material on it. Hopefully this link works properly.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

The design might not be spot on for you, but I know EnZo sells blanks in a few materials. Their "Camper" looks closest to those two and the D2 blank is listed at Omaha Knife for $69, plus five for shipping.

Thanks for the quick reply. Yea not exactly what I was looking for. I have searched a bunch of websites and have not been able to find exactly what I am looking for. It seems odd that there are so many survival knives out there for sale with that exact shape, but not blanks available. I have also seen many people make them from steel as well.
