Shop

It is sometimes really hard to get Knifemaking tools and consumables here in Australia, we don't have a large population of makers or suppliers. Freight from the US is also very expensive. We souce limited items in bulk to offer savings to local makers and make it easier to find hard to get items. For a more extensive (and expensive) range see the Suppliers in our Links page.

Payment can be by cheque or money order, direct debit (preferred), cash (for pickups) or Paypal (charges apply).

Please contact us for availability and postage rates.

Anvils

We have found a great new supplier of anvils here in Canberra. Greg Greet from Red Box Products has imported some high quality cast steel anvils and is offering them at very affordable prices. They are compact, well finished and have great bounce back with the hammer. What is most impressive is the size of the deck - its wide and well shaped.

Below is what is currently in stock. Contact us if your interested and want to have a look.

Custom Knife Orders

We do make knives to order. Blades are either high carbon or damascus steel. We don't work with stainless steel. There is a wide selection of Australian hardwoods to choose for handles, or alternate materials on request.

We'll usually send through a progress picture to confirm it is going how you would like.

There is normally a waiting list, so please don't ring up in a rush, to be fair on those ahead in the line. This also avoids dissapointment when we can't make them in time. It may be quicker to enroll on a course and make it yourself (depending on the knife you want and your skills).

Pricing is worked out by time with additions depending on the materials used.

Knifemaking Steel

We stock a small range of high carbon steel (1075 and 15N20) for bladesmithing or stock removal. The steel works well under the hammer and has minimal movement in heat treatment. The steel is annealed ready for filing or grinding. This is not precision ground stock (hence the good price) so they may be slight warpage which is easily hammered or bent out.

Price is quotes per metre and will be worked out pr rata. The maximum individual length of the 2.5mm is 90 cm, and 81 cm of the 3.3mm and thicker. This is because of the original sheet size. Cutting to length is no charge. Postage/freight extra so please let us know where you are when you order. This is in limited supply so contact us now to order.

For composition and heat treating information see Properties of Carbon Steel
