I buy my O1 from http://www.buckandhickman.com/ . I find them cheaper than Cromwell tools & their website is easier to search for size. Search for Ground flat stock.
The steel they supply is from Saxon Steel in Sheffield, so good quality.

Depends what size knife you want to make, you can get a woodlore sized knife from 4mm x 30mm wide. In fact you can get 2 from this strip without much waste. http://www.buckandhickman.com/find/keyword-is-ground+flat+stock/Thickness-is-4/product-is-233746

To be honest I dont know, I always try and wait until I can reach the free delivery at £50 before I order. A GUESS weight wise would be £5-£6. But you can probably find out in the checkout process before you commit to paying.
