what company will laser cut blades to your specs?

[shootist16]

It seems as though someone was telling me of a company that would laser cut a blade for people. They would do this from a drawing. Does anyone know about this? Has anyone done it? I wanted some input. How much does it generally run? I am sure it depends on what kind of steel and how much of it is used but I wanted a ball park figure.

Is this the Admiral Steel you were thinking of?

Just found the laser cutting section:

It looks like it is more for small production runs than one-offs. I'm not sure what you are after. And you're restricted to their steel products. It looks like an adequate selection though.

I buy steel from Admrial but find their laser cutting to be over priced and poor quality
