Kelly Cupples carries a ton of metal, including hard to get metal powders. He is honest as they come and is super easy to work with. Here is a link to his materials list Ellis Custom Knifeworks

Kelly Couples, Darren Ellis are both great choices, Aldo Bruno for 1084 and 1095. O1 pacific machinery and tool steel in Portland Or. I have a bit of O1 in forging sizes also.

bad link removed.

I have removed the discussion on it being a bad link. If someone finds a working link, please post it.

Sorry about the link to Aldo. I forgot it was an email address rather than a web page. here is his email address, njsteelbaron@gmail.com. Drop him a line and see what he has.

Aldo's a great guy and easy to deal with. I've known him for a while now and the steel he's getting is top quality. My favorite blade steel is the 1084 i've been getting from him.
