Copper + Buffalo = Nice

I got the copper in a trade from someone, so I don't really know where it came from. I wish I did because I'm gonna need more after maybe 4 more knives. It's from a solid chunk about 3/8" thick or so by about 4" wide, and I just cut what I needed with the bandsaw. I pinned the bolsters on using ground wire from Lowe's. 11/64 i think it was, but they've got lots of sizes. All the barstock I've gotten has been from trades, so I'm as interested as you to find where i can get it for reasonable prices in thicker sizes.

I am sure there are more sites out there but after I read your post I googled copper bar, and here is what I came up with. They have it in bars of different sizes and I think from what I read they will cut for length.
The site even has a live chat if you need help with an order! cool 1

Travis,

You sure named this thread right. Beautiful knife. Good work.

For all the scroungers around here, if you know any electricians, you can sometimes score a buss bar out of a panel box that is at least a 1/4" thick and 18" long. They have a lot of holes in them but there is quite a bit of usable copper there too.
