Buy drill rod. It should be available in your area - if not it is a common
mail order item.

Do any of you Arizona types know where I can get very small quantities
of tool
steel in the Phoenix area.

I'm making small carving tools, knives, etc. by hand so I can use pieces
that would normally be scrap and cutoffs. However I'm willing to pay a
reasonable amount for the material. Ideally I'd like to get some key
stock because it takes less work to form.

The type of tool steel doesn't particularly matter as long as it's
something I can heat treat at home.
