Hey Everyone! it's been awhile since i've been around, things have been somewhat hectic, but i'm trudging through it. Anyway, I was thinking about getting a grinder from home depot or lowe's, and I'm looking for a blade blank. I want to try my hand at making a single piece blade, so the type of steel blank i'm looking for is one that has been heat-treated and the ONLY thing it needs is to be ground to shape/size and have the blade formed and honed. I don't want to do the heat-treating myself, as I don't have the materials to do it. again, it's just something I want to try and see how it turns out. Any info would be appreciate and if anyone could sell me some blanks fitting those specs, I'd appreciate even more.

Have a good one!
