Where in USA to buy Magnacut or Rex121 Billets?

[ptolemy]

I am trying to help out a Andrei Markin (Markin Knives) to purchase some Magnacut and Rex121 billets (if it's the right word). I googled some places that sell it, but I never heard of them, so I am hoping for some reliable recommendations from our community.

Thank you in Advance

Theyre where basically everyone gets their steels. At least when it comes to these kinds of steels.

Iron Lucky on Etsy (out of France) has Rex 121/stainless San Mai, pre hardened. Alpha Knife Supply carries Rex 121, Pop's Carries MagnaCut.

would love to see him getting a hold of some MagnaCut, I have a cleaver order with him in 52100 but a MagnaCut cleaver would be insane.

Looking at AKS, REX121 is available tall enough to make a cleaver - that would be insane.

Yeah. I was thinking the same thing lol.

Though i guess it will need to be annealed.

Pops knife supply also carried magnacut.

I would just do alpha, since you can get both from their, and save money on shipping.

I ordered Magnacut directly from Niagara when it was first released. I think it was 36" long. Shipping wasn't cheap, but I was too impatient for it to reach retailers.

I had some rex121 in a mule years ago and wasn’t a fan - strange steel

I tried that once. They canceled my order and told me it was all sold to retailers. Maybe they are back in stock…

Could someone recommend additional sources for rex121 in the USA?

AKS is really the only source unless you want to go really obscure and start reaching out to industrial suppliers.

ya, i figured as much, thank you

Maybe they made an exception because they wanted it to sell fast at first. I got it on release day.

I mean, magnacut is very easy to find at this point, its also cheaper than 4v, and vanadis 4 extra. At least that i've seen so thats a plus also.

Revive this thread because some personal interest... I might bought some MagnaCut with me going home for summer, how heavy would a 0.168" x 23.5" x 2.6" stock weigh? Would it got me in trouble in the customs?

i can't imagine why.... it's a piece of metal.

They might get jealous of the cool piece of metal and steal it.

 

[ptolemy]

when i shipped mine, i took off the labels, so i just said it's metal samples.

The density of steel is about 4.55oz/cubic inch. So about 46.7oz/2.91lbs.

Get out of here with all that math nerd!

We just do knives here.

In all seriousness, isn't one of the more regular posters a legitimate mathematician? Or is that just another running gag that began before my time...?

And I thought everyone was here just to hear about @M1k3's clueless cook, and to piss off @Michi by forgetting the count....and to completely digress from the thread topic for entertainment and possibly later Trivial Pursuit purposes
