Yeah, Splint. Quicker than running to ABQ to find out it’s not in stock anywhere in town and then ordering online. Plus, when I saw the blanks, I figured something like this would eventually happen. I think I got a dozen 1/2” wide by 2-3mm thick blanks for something like $20 - they were seriously cheap, and the metal seems to be decent quality.

Thanks, Ryan. 

May you have the day you deserve!
