I posted this a couple days ago at the tail of another thread but I decided to start a thread (partly in hope that it would get answered more quickly but also so others can find it later).

I was wondering if anyone knew of a source for 52100 bar stock (precision ground would be amazing but not necessary). I unfortunately don't have really any forging capacity and so I can't use rod stock or ball bearings, which are the only sources I found. If anyone has information, it would be greatly appreciated.
 
Don't know how much you would want at a time but Ray Kirk could forge you some out and surface grind it. Don't know the cost. ray at rakerknives.com
 
I think Mcmaster-Carr has this alloy also, not sure what shapes though or how their prices compare.
 
If the name "Tony MocK" comes up in this thread - don't walk - RUN in the other direction!:eek:

(Still stinging. It really hurts to get burned by a knifemaker.)

If you only need thin stock Admiral has some 52100 bar stock 5/32" x 1.5." They might have some other sized bar stock available as well if you give them a call, thats just the stuff they have listed on their online order form.
 
You guys are amazing. Thank you very much for the info. I will email you shortly Ed (as soon as I'm on a computer and not a phone).
