I want to make a press type cutter for 1" foam. I will make the die by placing a blade strip in a groove cut into a heavy laminated wood sheet and cat against a die cutting board. The pattern I'm cutting is a complex design of curves in a 2-dimentional design. so, the tool steel has to bend in radii as small sa 1.5".

Where do I get the bulk cutting strip and what do I call it?

As always, thanks.
