Do you have a source for ferro vanadium, ferro chromium, or ferro niobium?

@nteasdale Here is some ferro vanadium that I purchased. Message the seller and he will ship to the US. NOTE: I was not able to produce a wootz steel that would properly etch with this as my vanadium source. I am not sure what the issue was but I only use W2 and O1 tool steels as my vanadium source now.

The issue I was having with FeV was my own fault. It works well.

Ferro Chromium I have not been able to find. My chromium source comes from 154 CM knife steel. Ferro Niobium, You should be able to find this on ebay. I personally do not use it.
