It could be done.... how big a billet you reckon you need?
My mower has 2 blades, so I'd need a matching pair. Turkish twist would be nice.... yeah, I've been awake too long...

Well, that's bigger than Alabama Damascus' billets, and a bit bigger than I could handle.... I'd suggest HHH as a possible source.
