Gratz 8 Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) If you're just looking to get an idea of prices for blades and things, then have a look at www.brisa.fi I've bought stuff from them before and they seem fair. But - it's mass produced and not like some of the hand-crafted stuff Midnight and some of the boys on here do. HTH Edited January 2, 2013 by Gratz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dyer 5 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 to keep the cost down ,get hold of an old file you can anneal it ( heat it up to red hot then cool it slowly ) then you can shape it re harden it . There are plenty of videos on youtube also this site is very useful www.britishblades.com Quote Link to post Share on other sites
