Fish30114Dusky, it's probably worth picking up a copy of Blade Magazine, they have a fair amount of suppliers that put those smallish ads in the back of the mag--as well as a few big ones.
Good Luck--Don

MarteriusFor those curious about Swedish blades and the Scandinavian knife-tradition, take a look at
http://www.nordellknives.com/A lot of very nice blades, mostly around 3" as is the tradition regarding hunting knives here.
He is Swedens biggest supplier of knife making supplies, and have an English version of his website.

348srfunDusky, The larger knife shows are always a great source of supplies. You can see what you are getting first hand. That is an advantage, especially in handle material. Most suppliers are at the Blade Show in Atlanta. It's a good idea to meet the people you are buying from. Pop's Knives and Supplies is a good source for belts. He has a catalog and web site.
