    How much do you want to spend? Lauri blades are superb and are only about £10 - £15

    what sort of style are you looking for? If you want a nice hand forged, laminated or damascus one then I can certainly do that for you I also run courses, so you could come and make your own!

    Having just today tried my hand at making some scales and pinning them to a blank, I'd recommend not getting one with a brass guard/bolster to start with. Getting the scales flush with it can add so much more aggravation on a first time.

    Have a look on my site mate. Can do you any of my models as a blank, or pretty much anything else too.
