Bar Stock - TN

[Nibs51]

Looking for a local vendor or supply house in the Nashville area that carry's bar stock for knife blanks. Yes, can order on line, but thought there may be a local supplier or metals company that has stock.

Understand NJ Steel Baron is preferred vendor, but just starting out and looking for materials locally before ordering any volume of materials.
thanks

Fastenal, the big hardware dealer sells 0-1. They should have stores in Nashville. Most auto body places that do suspension work should have stuff like 5160. If you have Amazon Prime, there are dealers that offer basic cutlery steels there sometimes.

Anything more exotic, you'll usually need to order special.
