I just received 2 bars(1-1/2 x 36” x 3/16”) CPM-154 and 2 bars of CPM-S35VN from Admiral Steel and there is nothing written on them to indicate this. 2 bars have pink on the ends and the other 2 bars have 416 SS on them. Anybody know how to identify and did they send me 416 stainless steel by mistake?

If it's got 416ss written on it, it's probably 416. Id give them a call and see what's up

They are well known for mixing and making unauthorized substitutions.
They have a fabrication, not knifemaking mentality.
Call and see if you can figure out what they sent, then use a proper supplier like Alpha or Aldo.

I second the advice to use Aldo the NJ Steel Baron, although the more people who buy from him, the less likely it is for everything I want to be in stock next time I order...

I feel like Admiral has pretty good pricing and selection but I've only used them once.
