They list it but it's out of stock. I'm waiting for it myself. Tracy is the only place I have found .125 stainless 416.

Do you have any larger sizes? You could forge them down to the size you need. I forge all of my 416 from larger sizes.

Just a suggestion

Thanks, guys. I've got plenty of thicker stock. I was just trying to not have to forge & surface grind any if not necessary.

Gary,

Try Slice of Stainless. They have 410 stainless in plate stock. 410 and 416 are virtually the same for use on knives.

I just did a search of my usual suppliers of 416. None of them has any. Wonder what's up with that???

Thanks, Steve. Got it.

Their web site was having problems but I was able to call them.

I'm not sure why 1/8" 416 bar is so hard to find. I've not had that problem before.

Oh well, 410 sheet will get the job done.
