Any ideas where to find 3/32" by 2" annealed 440c Stainless Steel? Preferably in longer than 12" length.

Thanks.

Also try Ford Tool Steel, I've been going to them for odd pieces of tool steel for years.

We ordered .093" but it came in oversize, .106"-.112".

The reason it came in over thickness was to allow you to grind all the imperfections off and still retain your desired thickness. That's a normal practice with all steel purveyors.

Some knifemakers are not aware of this. The steel companies sell 3/32" as .103/.113. This is why we measure every piece of steel we sell.
