You can get the handle and some blades for about $20 from Warren Cutlery. http://www.warrencutlery.com/ I've been using the 10B blade that they have. It's really good for smaller stuff, or for detail on bigger stuff. If you're doing smaller stuff, it's easy to get small scraps of wood at nicer lumber places, a few near me sell the small stuff by the pound or for just a dollar or two per piece. You can also get wood from tree trimming places once you find some local trees that are good to carve.
