416 stainless

[Jim Coffee]

Need some help here. Does anybody have a GOOD source for 416 stainless.... The last 2 times I have bought 416 it seems like the pin material and the flat stock are different, this makes it impossible to hide the pins (something I have never had trouble doing). Thanks for the help here.

Trugrit has the cheapest 416 I've found. Haven't had trouble with the pins being different.

I have used 416 from USAKnifemaker.com with no problems.

First I have a question...... Where do you get your pin stock?

Same place.

It is surface ground, making it easier to work with. No scale on pin stock to remove. Pins blend in very well. Not the expensive-low quality scalely stuff from other suppliers.
