Well it is official. Myself and Daniel at EE are the North American distributors for Takefu steel. right now we have V-toku solid material, sg2 solid, some sg2 suminagashi in 15 and 30 layer. there are several thicknesses. I believe they are 2.8, 3, 3.5, and four mm. The suminagashi will need to be forged to have any pattern to it, other wise ther will be straight lines. Forging also gives a bigger knife from the same material. We will have pretty much all the material available from Takefu eventually but for right now it is just what's above.
sizes and prices can be had from EE, email is the best way as Daniel is a little short handed at the moment. Ill post prices in this forum when I get them.
 
What's the stuff you made that sort of rainbow patterned chef's knife out of awhile back? I can't find the thread.

That is tricolored suminagashi with v toku core. unfortunately Takefu has decided that due to the difficulty of working this particular material and the difficulty in making it that there won't be any more. I do have the specs and have been given the procedure that is used so I may make some but probably only for my own use.
