Try www.hightemptools.com. That High temperature Tools and Refractory and they carry various sizes of wire cable in extra improved which, if I remember right, is something like 1080.

Most steel suppliers will sell cable. Just make sure you get cable with large wires, the fine stuff just doesn't work too well and makes an inferior knife. I've got two spools, too bad you aren't nearby, I'd give you some.

I'd be glad to pay shipping. How do I tell if it has large strands? The the strand count vs diameter? Thanks

The cable I have on spools is 5/8". The pic is of 7/8 cable. One is fine and one course. There are many varieties of cable, enough to make your head spin. The size of the strands matter because there is a decarborized zone around the outside that amounts to .010". Not much but when you have a cable strand that is .020" that's only 50% that is high carbon. I'd be happy to stuff some in a med flat rate box. I'd guess it would be 15 - 25'
