Where to purchase Damascus bar stock...?


Recommended Posts

I am looking to purchase some Damascus bar stock to make a ring. The best supplier that I have been able to find is Damasteel via Michael Walker (US supplier). Are there any other suppliers that I should look into?

I am sort of press for time and seeing as I am new to all this I would prefer it be thick enough where I can mill and lathe the ring rather than hammer and forge weld it.

Also since it will be a ring the available pattern is a concern to me. I want it to look really nice. This is just an example but a pattern similar to this would be awesome:

Could anyone steer me in the right direction? I would greatly appreciate any advice that you could give.

This fellow on eBay always has some for sale as "buy it now" or as auction http://cgi.ebay.com/ALABAMA-DAMASCUS-STEEL-BILLET-BLANK-BLADE-KNIFE-MAKING-/250701113611?pt=Collectible_Knives&hash=item3a5ef3690b :P
He also has scrap billets where blades were punched out and this maybe a cheaper option for you if you just want enough for a ring or two. http://cgi.ebay.com/ALABAMA-DAMASCUS-STEEL-BILLET-BLANK-BLADE-KNIFE-MAKING-/260653141630?pt=Collectible_Knives&hash=item3cb0234e7e
