    Default Where to buy steel

    I’ve been looking for some steel for making an axe and decided I was going to try using 4140 steel but I am having trouble locating a place to buy some nice stuff. I see a lot of bulk sellers selling tons but I only want a few kg and not in a cylinder which I also see a lot.

    Does anyone know a good place to buy 4140 steel blocks of a few kilos?

    it would help a lot

    Welcome to a usually helpful forum. If you put your location as something more specific than "Australia" you might avoid the razor sharp wit of some member.

    Edcon Steel. Their website is worth a look.

    voestalpine or interlloy.

    voestalpine would be you best bet for blocks, but round bar will be a lot cheaper.
