Anyone know of a place to get
0170-6/50100-B steel? I've looked and looked. Can't seem to find it anywhere. Thanks
 
You can get 52100 steel, which I assume is close, from njsteelbaron.com. 2 questions. 1, why do you want that specific grade, and 2. are you planning on doing HT yourself?
 
I want a specific grade because I want to know what it costs. If knife companies can get it, I should be able to as well. And second I might ht myself if it is do-able. How much does it cost to send it out for heat treat?
 
A lot of them have batches custom smelted or buy it in increments of tons. Price for sending it out for HT depends on the steel grade.

What do stickies have to do with my question? Nothing. I'm looking for a metal. A simple link would suffice. I'm not looking for an acient Chinese way of the blade fortune cookie answer.

And google would probably help you find it.

On the other hand, snotty comments about ancient Chinese secrets tend to annoy the folks around here, who regularly bend over backwards to help their competitors.

Just sayin' :D

I've googled and googled. And I'm far from a competitor. I'm only interested in making knives for myself and family. Trust me I'm not tryin to corner the market and strike it rich in the knife making world. Lol. And When someone posts a reply to a question that is vague and/or says nothing but "good background is often the answer for going foreward" for kudos in the forum world then yes I could of read that at the china buffet down the street.

Just saying
 
good luck.

Let us know how you make out on your own

Pull back a bit on the attitude and you might get help

What do the stickies have to do with your quest Grasshopper?

everything

Just sayin'

To be fair, the FAQ post with information about where to get supplies has a broken link. I already dropped a dime on it (Reported the post).
 
You're answer lies within the question not yet asked grasshopper.

Honestly. Of all the people you could disrespect Frank Niro is the LAST person deserving it.

We're all here and happy to help and be helped. That's why it's Shop Talk Questions and Answers.
 
Bwahahahahahaha I got sent a warning and I didn't even curse. What is this? Constant sarcasm towards simple questions gets old. If you don't know, why reply sarcastically? You'll get a sarcastic reply from me. I'm just here to
Learn what I can from people who do it on a daily basis. So send me all the warnings you want. I believe it said I insulted another member... Maybe bladeforums think of insulting in a different light. Oh well sorry if I pissed anyone off. I'll make sure not to ask any questions, just refer to the AWESOME stickies!!! Again. Cheers to "blues" and his "warning"(cue next warning for "insulting" blues and his avatar)
 
in before the ban. The Stickies are a wealth of information that has been compiled for people just like you. Consider the time that you spend looking at information you don't need right now to be an investment for the future and the price of the information.
