As the title says I’m trying to source a203e and not having much luck. Trying to find it about 1/4” thick by 1.5” wide. I know admiral steel sells it in that size but would like to see if anyone knows of any other sources. The shipping quote from admiral was just unreasonable in my opinion so I’d prefer not ordering it from them. Hopefully someone in the US has another source they know of, Google has not been on my side looking.
 
Joshua, I think I have some. I used to use it in Damascus but no longer do so. I could send you some in a flat rate box for you to try.
If I remember right it is 1/4" x 1 1/2".

I wouldn’t mind getting it from admiral but lately their shipping has been unreasonable. Their current quote was double what I’ve paid very recently for shipping a box of steel through ups that had significantly more weight in it. I had a friend try to order a large quantity of blade steel from admiral to make the shipping cost affordable and they originally quoted 45 then after he paid they called him 2-3 days later and doubled the shipping. The quote I got from them was around 60 for 2 bars of material. I know it doesn’t cost that much to ship and I don’t really want to order a larger quantity from them just to have them up the shipping charge even more.
