What steel for a first knife.

I am practicing on wooden bars and feel it's about time to switch to steel.
Since I have 1"x42" grinder I am going to make a smaller (3"-4" blade) knife
What whould be a good steel for it? I need something cheap, easy to work with and cheap to heat treat. Know any good source of this steel?

All suggestions are appriciated.

Thanks,
Alex
