Nice job on that knife, Dennis.
Yes, 416 does seem to be the popular one. I called Pop's knife supply the other day and he said he has a hard time finding a supplier for the barstock anymore. He will bring some to the Cambridge, Ohio show in October if he has any. Also last week I picked up a 30" bar of 3/8X1" 416 from a local supplier and he was suprised he had any at all. The searching for 416 is what prompted my original question. I would like to settle on a choice with good availability and learn how to work with the steels properties to make my work a little more consistent.
Thanks for the comments.
Pat
