I've been looking all around the internet and I can't seem to find 15n20 square or round stock.

Does anyone have a source?

You will never find it.

That grade of steel is manufactured specifically for band saw blade material and is rolled thin before it ever hits the market.

That said, you can make your own square.

I did a dry weld on a large stack and drew it out to forge a 1/4" blade. Weld up a stack and draw it out to your desired dimension.

DITTO! One of the things I always do when there's a bit of slack time at the forge, is create specific sizes of material I might need....in those particular sizes that I know I can't obtain commercially.
