Gendry Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I think I found a good steel supplier, but im confused by the sizes they list. 1/8 x 2 1084 Carbon Steel What exactly am I going to get if I buy "1 each" of this? https://www.knifemaker.ca/product.php?productid=17099&cat=305&page=1 My guess is 1/8th of an inch thick, by 2 inches wide, but then how long is it? Im confused.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 You need to ask *THEM*. Since they are selling it for knives it is probably NOT 20' long and my be sized to fit a flat rate box... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinobi Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Up a couple of headings in "tool and carbon blade steel" they describe how they operate: " A few of these steels come to us in 36" length (O1, CPMD2, W2). The rest come in 48" bars. You may wish to add instructions in the customer notes area for your order. Keep in mind that any parcel over a meter (think max steel length 36") will incurr an additional charge (canada Post) of $7.50). The store doesn't automatically calculate this because it can't read your notes about cutting instructions. It is helpful, if you acknowledge in your notes that it's OK to add this surcharge to your total. That saves us all the extra time involved in contacting you for approval. All of our blade steel is sold by the linear inch, so you don't have to buy a whole bar to make a 9" knife. The exception is 6" width which is only sold as 6 x 36" sheets.

Gendry Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 Ah yes, thank you. They will cut it for you any length you like. Am I right in assuming the dimensions for that particular piece would be 1/8th of an inch thick, by 2 inches wide, and as long as I order?

Dodge Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Unless its metric. The weight is :D My best guess however, is that it's inches as metrics usually don't involve fractions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
