    For steel, have a look at Artisan Supplies. They have a NZ based store as well, so if you place an order on the Aust website, you will be dealing with the NZ based team.

    For standard size knives, a 3.2mmx38mm section of flat bar is the best place to start, in either 1075 or 1084 as they are supper easy to heat treat (no soak time required). Just heat to non-magnetic and quench in canola oil, then temper in your oven.
