1095 spring steel were are you.

I’m having no luck trying to find 1095 spring steel in Australia at .5 mm or there about in thickness.
I can get 1095 in thicker sections ie 1/8 3 mm.
But no luck under that.
I’ve contacted a few Knive making suppliers, a few of the bigger metal companies.
No luck either.
I know it’s available overseas ,especially the US ,but I would need to sell a kidney for the postage and exchange rate at present.

I’m wanting 1095 by .5 mm for making handsaws (for wood the softer metal lol )

It is sometimes packaged as 1095 shim stock in rolls blue tempered.

I would be happy with a roll of that.
Anyone know of any local suppliers ?

Cheers Matt.
