[jaymeister99]

Anybody know where there's a source to get Duratech 20V or CTS-XHP?

Can you buy it in small qtys, already cut? I wouldn't want more than .125 x 1.5 x 72, but preferably under 36". I dont know if they do that.

The Bybees have just about any kind of exotic steel available now.

Thank you Danbo. :thumbup:

Bohler M390 is the almost the same as 20CV except for .40% silicon.

Here is a link to a page showing the composition and data sheets for both steels:

Yes they will sell small quantities and cut to length you need to give them a call and see what they have in stock.

Chuck and Jess are great ppl and if you need a little of this or a little of that they are hard to beat

now that i get nearly whole sheets of steel when i order i dont get to call themm a much but any time i need a oddball few things they have it and when n picking handle stuffs they have pictures of the block or round that you are buying

I didn't know Alpha Knife was on here! I just bought some Elmax from you a few days ago.

I might try some M390 on the next order. Thanks.

BTW, Alpha is great to do business with. Great service,quick shipping (and cheap shipping charges).
