Where can I get 3 foot bars in different sizes of these two steels? I searched the internet and came up with nothing. Maybe I missed it.

I know Alpha supply does sell both and I've ordered some from them, but they don't sell the length and widths I'm looking for. I was hoping for at least 3 foot bars because I can utilize that length without much leftover unusable steel. Thanks for the heads up about CD1 rodriguez7 rodriguez7

Also looking at CPM Cru-Wear. Thought I read that it is similar Z Wear?

Larrin Larrin has a great article on his site comparing cruwear to Zwear... I may be wrong but Zwear seems to always be tougher than cruwear yet having similar edge retention.
 
Niagara hasn’t been carrying it long. Maybe mid July at the earliest.

Well I called @nsm
They haven't always had it. Looks like folks were getting it previously from another source. I forgot it is not a Crucible steel but a Carpenter Steel.
Frank says they have had the billets to roll for a few months now and his rough guess is it will be ready in a few weeks in sheet or cut into bar.
No other Carpenter steels will be available from @nsm

That's a good one to bring in. Seems to be better than CPM 1V.
