Well I do not know the situation in NZ. Also I don't like to say, is some makers don't want to share especially where there isn't much competition. Just human nature for some, but muddle through with what you have and do not accept mild steel for knife steel. Cheats and thieves would turn you to worst materials and then they"ll say they have better. 1070 or higher steel is what you want. 1084 being the target metal unless you can find some CruForgeV steel which was made for forging.
