carbide reamer

[elementfe]

Had a brain fart yesterday and forgot to ream a pivot hole to final dimension (.125) before heat treat, now it's a carbide reamer or start over- it would be good to have one anyway.
I've looked at all the sites where I usually order knifemaking stuff and I'm not seeing any- Can anyone point me toward a source?
Fleabay has a couple, around $14, but shipping is almost as much and I can't order any of the other odds and ends i need at the same time.
Thanks for any ideas!

/doh! Usaknifemaker has them, somehow I missed their site while searching last night...

I always check McMaster Carr for that kind of stuff.
MSC and Enco are also good sources.

Any reason you couldn't immerse the blade and anneal that area?

If not, unless you really need the precision of a reamed hole, a carbide ball nose end mill will do what you need and are $7 if you have prime.

+1 ↑ I work in a metal fab shop, and we order almost everything from msc and mcmaster carr. They will have what you need.

Thanks for the replies!
Sandow, thanks for the info, I'll want to have one of those around. In this case I do need a reamer, since it's a pivot hole on a folding knife and good tolerances make it work or not.
