Where to get CPM440V

[gull wing]

Where can I get small amounts of CPM440V?
I don't spend a lot of time in knife making, been at it for a few years.I make a few folding kinives a year and enjoy it very much.

I bought a Spyderco with CPM440V blade and really like it. Thought I would try to make some in this steel. Also, is it very difficult to work? Do you have any advise in the way of tools, methods, etc. Are there other steels available with similar qualities?

If the local knifemakers supply places don't have it, try, Bruce Di Vita at Crucible steel, 1-800-365-1168
BTW, welcome to the forums.

Sheffields Knifemaker Supply had it when I ordered two weeks ago. Its called S60-V now.
