This might help some of our craftsmen with sourcing different materials. Might even get some of the other members to try their hands at crafting something.
I was thinking of putting a list of suppliers up and anyone is free to add to it. I can always edit this post to have all of the suppliers in one list.
Masecraft Supply does a large variety of handle materials. CF, G10, Micarta and some exotics.
Knife Kits has a decent selection of handle material choices and also Kydex in a good variety of colors. Also has tools and blade blanks to try your hand at putting scales on and not having to grind and heat treat a blade. Yes, I have bought fixed and folder kits from this site.
USA Kinfemaker same as Knife Kits, just a little more selection of everything. Some items that Knife Kits doesn't carry.
Jantz another supplier of all types of knife related items. I have heard people having issues with Jantz, but I never have. I own a couple of their fixed blades.
Exotic Blanks is a source for blanks for pens and other turned items. Also, have blanks large enough for carving or shave brush handles.
CSUSA is a Utah company that has a lot of turning supplies. I linked to the pen blank page.
KnB Blanks specializes in carbon fiber and braid blanks. Also does the polymer clay blanks.
M3 Metal Blanks makes metallic blanks in all sizes. Solid color and mokume style blanks. I really want to try a pen in this stuff.
Or scales to a fixed blade.
Paracord Galaxy for your paracord supplies. I just found this one recently and the first order got to me in two days. Helps they are in southern Utah.
Supply Captain another paracord source. I used this one for years.
Tandy Leather is for anyone that wants to play around with leather or knows how to work it and needs supplies. They have some great kits for beginners, by the way.
Beartooth Woods another source for pen blanks and larger stock for scales and Villains.
PSI for pen kits and other woodworking supplies. Has a large variety of pen kits. Some are exclusive to PSI.
Micro Fasteners socket screws, machine screws, locknuts, washers, sheet metal or self tapping screws, wood screws, other fasteners and related items in U.S. and metric sizes.
NJ Steel Baron Source for all things steel
Ok, which sites did I miss? What supplies do you want listed? I think I covered everything from raw steel to finishing supplies to the materials for your Wabi Sabi bead.
