Does anybody know where I can buy nickle silver barstock other than knife supply companies?

I would like to be able to get a quantity discount by buying 10-20 feet at a time as I mostly use 1/2" and 3/8" thickness.

You might try a large industrial supply company like McMaster-Carr or Grainger. They will usually carry some stock like what you are looking for. I buy some stuff from McMaster-Carr once in a while.

Thanks!

I am also interested in buying nickle silver, in bar and pin stock. Has any-one heard of a canadian supplier of such things. Currently we purchase from the Texas Knife Makers Supply but shipping small orders from the States to Canada is very expensive.

I think that Peckovers in Concord may be able to help, not completely sure but they handle a wide range of red metal alloys.

Try McMurray Metals in Dallas, Tx. They are wholesalers of brass and nickle silver. Sorry I do not have the phone number.

There is currently some nickle silver for sale on ebay. 5 bars, 12" x 2 1/4" x 1/8". Current bid is $10.99 and $5.50 shipping.

Mike
