Is that good news for CPM 154?

Yes, if you want CPM 154.

And njsb is 120 for s35vn and out of stock

It is pricey, but they do have .094 x 1.5" x 24" for $75 as of 4:22PM CDT.

A lot of people have asked what grades will be available, so here’s the rundown:

Available or Incoming:
MagnaCut, CPM154, S30V, S35VN, S45VN, S90V, 3V, 4V, CruWear (NSM Wear), 154CM, 20CV, M4, CPM D2, D2, 440C ESR, 416SS, 6-4 Titanium. MagnaMax should be available in early 2026.

All PM grades are coming in from Erasteel and Carpenter, and the quality has been excellent. All airmelt steels and 6-4 Titanium are domestic.

The only grades off the list for now are 15V, 110V and Rex 121. They were Crucible exclusives, and we’re working with the mills to bring them back once production can be re-established.

Thanks again for everyone’s patience and support!!

I spent some time at Niagara Specialty Metals today, and Bob Shabala nsm walked around with me to show me the new shelving they’re setting up for strip stock inventory. Sounds like they’re still a couple weeks out before being fully stocked, and the new web store isn’t ready either, but things are moving forward:

No shortage of CPM154 inventory:

For good measure, a quick video of finish rolling some steel:

Can you let us know the country of origin for all the different steels. This has become an important piece of information because of the changes in tariffs..... that seem to be never ending.
