Where to purchase SRS-15 steel blanks?

[aschmidt]

I'm looking to make a chef knife and SRS-15 steel caught my interest when I read about it, but there doesn't seem to be much information out there about where to purchase it. Does anyone here have any experience with it or know of where steel blanks of it can be purchased? Thank you!

The japanese, in the past, have been pretty closed-fisted with their steel. It may be the case that you can't buy it, or only in several thousand pounds increments. I will say that I have never seen it pop up in all my searching before, and so I am inclined to think you are out of luck. However, I would be happy to be proved wrong.
