I absolutely love CPM 154CM and use it a lot in my folder making. I am able to find it as thin as .100" thick and even precision ground, but below that I am having trouble. I want to start making two and three blade slip joints and need thinner stock to make the secondary blades. Have any of you found some CPM 154 in thicknesses around 1/16" or so? I would prefer precision ground as I don't have a surface grinder yet. Otherwise my only option is to mill some thicker stock down and clean it up on my disc grinder.

Thanks for any help.
 
Check Aldo. Also, consider CPM S35VN. It is like CPM154 with a plus in all things that matter to a knife.
 
I'll have to give him a call and see what he can do. I have used S35VN and absolutely love it but I can't find it thin either.
 
Admiral is showing CPM 154 as low as 3/32 but they are offering ATS-34 in 1/16th thickness. Let us know if Aldo scores the thin 154 for you.

I was just on the phone with New Jersey Steel Baron yesterday. They confirmed they have S35VN in 1/16, even though it's not on the website yet.
