Damascus Blanks

[THREEJAYS]

I know this has probably been here before but does anyone know of a place to order damascus blanks from?

Jantz, Texas knifemakers supply, nantahala trading post are a few. Add .com to them to get their site.
I get some from Ebay - Alabamadamascus, cccofusa are two I have delt with. There are a lot more out there if you google it.

Check with Daniel Prentice of dpcustomknives He makes his own and also sells it to other knife makers. If you order from Texas Knife Makers or Jantz, be sure to ask where the blades are from. I have been told that they are buying from China and the steel is very soft. I looked at one that a friend put together and he made the same comment and said that he rolled the edge trying to shave a piece of hard wood.
