Can’t find any thin CPM 10V stock

[Fishnguy]

I have been looking for a blank of CPM 10V under 0.1”, ideally 0.075”, and drawing a blank on this search. Any of you blade smiths have any leads? Or maybe someone has a blank they would be willing to let go? A 0.075”x1”x8” would be plenty and everyone seems to be out of stock for anything 0.1” and under.

Not sure if I am posting in the right section, but couldn’t find anything else with a better fit. Apologies if this is, in fact, a wrong subforum.

Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for any advice.

You could ask your favorite seller to surface grind a piece down to the thickness desired. (or get someone to do it for you)

Alpha Knife Supply has thin stock A11 which I believe is nearly identical chemically.

A11= CPM 10V. AKS has it in sub- .100" thickness.

Yes, I contacted a few, but never received a reply from anyone (yet?). Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks, Robert and navman! That helps a lot! Yes, A11 is CPM 10V.

Appreciate the replies guys!
