Hi I'm from the London Ontario area and was wondering if anyone has had any dealing's with a knife store in Ingersoll Ontario called on the edge. I'm looking for some quality knife blanks to put handles on and make some sheaths for,or maybe someone knows of someone else local to me that carry's blades. I like to look and touch things before I buy I'm not much of an online buyer yet. Thanks
I have run into a couple of so called Canadian companies that are Pakistan suppliers with a Canadian address
@Shaner7269 On The Edge is no longer in business. Sadly I believe the owner passed away sometime last year and they were able to sell off most of their inventory. As for knife blanks: https://www.canadianoutdoorequipment.com/helle-blade-blanks.html http://www.bushcraftcanada.com/products/category.cfm?category=82 http://knivesandknifemaking.com/index.php You can check eBay too, but know Damascus knife blanks on eBay will almost always be from India or Pakistan.
Thanks for all the reply's and the link's to buying. Sorry to hear that the owner of that store had passed away. As for the knife blanks I'm looking for they would be bush craft and hunting blades I'm looking for good quality blades so I'm not sure I'll be buying from ebay or anything from Pakistan
@Shaner7269 Well I don’t know your budget bud, and even though I like making my knives start to finish...if I were going to slap handles on anything in the links I gave you it would be the Helle lineup and they have bushcraft and hunters...oh and best of all free shipping from a Canadian based business!
Ok thanks again Griff I'll check out the Helle line up for sure. As much as I'd like to make my own blade I just don't have the place or equipment for the job so for now I'll get into some handle and sheath making. I do a lot of wood working so it's one more thing I can play around with.
