Does anyone have a place they can get Stainless tube? Metal Supermarkets has stainless 316 tube, would that be appropriate for use in a knife handle? Cheers Smitty
Was going to point you to www.knifemaker.ca but it looks like they are out of stock. I've used 316 tube, all good.
i've used brake line. It works well. I find it hard to find stainless brake line though. John, do you have a good source?
I found something on my search for fasteners a couple days ago and not sure I saved the link. I will try and find the company again because they carried brass and copper as well as stainless tubing. I do get Chicago screws and regular bolts in stainless
I am looking at making a large purchase of steel and will have several hundred pounds of A2 and CPM 3V sitting around. Anyone interested in getting some pm me or post here. Price will get figured out later. Going on a road trip today so stainless tubing problem will be looked at Friday
Haven't found a good source for stainless, but I have bought brass and aluminium tube from a local hobby shop that caters to RC plane builders.
Yes, though you can sand them very shiny. There are some interesting YouTube vids on polishing aluminium foil balls. The results are pretty impressive.
I ordered either 3/32 or 1/8 x2” Found out discounts start at 150 lbs but not until a 1000 pounds is reached is it cheaper than Canadian retailers Or near 10 grand per grade
