.060" 416 sheet?

[Adam Buttry]

I'm having trouble sourcing 416 sheet at .060". I'm working with a 416 guard and want to use it (along with some thin G10) as an accent spacer behind the guard. Does anyone know of a reliable source for it? I can readily find .060" 410, but would prefer to match the guard and pin if possible. If I were to use 410, I'm worried there might be a noticeable visual difference when finished out. Any thoughts on that?

No difference. You're good to go.

416 is made into bar stock, 410 is made into sheet. 416 has added sulfur for ease of machining, otherwise they are the same.

416 has been hard to find, at least in the knife world, in sizes thinner than 3/16 for maybe 9 or 10 years. I bought some 1/8 stock a couple of times in like 2006-2007 IIRC and have not seen it since then.

I'll order some 410 then. Thanks for the info guys.
