Jantz, Sheffield, Texas Knife Supply, Auction websites. You should be able to find what you are looking for in one of those places. Try to stick with USA made damascus...might cost more than others but is made of known steels. Try to avoid Indian or Pakistani stuff.

I really like the blanks from 2Fingers on the big auction site.

Try deermountainforge.com  but only for damascus billets  (not shaped yet) Craig Barr...he's a great guy to deal with
