Not sure best place for this did a search on the forums first, but on a diff note I have a khukuri from khukuri house, which I love when it was razor sharp back before I cleared small forest of trees and brush during a season of work. Now it is not very sharp, and I cant seem to get a razor edge as it once had. I know it is made of a leaf spring, I have worn a groove in my stone, and shy of using a grinding wheel which would ruin the temper as I understand correctly I have no more ideas. tnraines

Say I waited and decided to buy some steel instead of using scrap, where would I even begin to look to purchase? Not like I would walk into walmart or AK steel or whatnot and say 1 pound or whatever of this, only places listed in phone book seem like major movers. tnraines the newb

I will check out the dvd thanks.

I would rather use fresh steel, however cost is a factor, all my extra money goes to my 2 month old and her appetite, any left I get to play with. The piece will be for me and no one else. Thanks for the help and ideas so far. Troy

I have seen some the size of small swords, smaller then that :)

Hello first post here: I never worked metal before, my budget is pretty much nil, so stock is out and scrap is in. Also a full forge is not an optition, think bare bones, might be able to borrow a small chinese anvil from the wifes dad. With that said what should i look for scrap wise? The project in mind is a small seax, any suggestions? Troy
