The fork dies at most shops are intended only for chasing threads or extending the threaded section on a fork that already has threads. To cut fresh threads on a steer tube you need a piloted die, or better yet a lathe. Take your fork to a machine shop and have them cut the threads (1" x 24tpi) using a lathe.
