<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drago the Wolf, post: 1540866, member: 22476&quot;]Okay,</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s the story behind this post.</p><p><br /></p><p>Me and my brother started collecting scrap metals as young kids with our grandma, and I have always searched for something that was made out of pure, solid chromium, but all I ever found was chrome-plated steel car parts, chrome-plated copper and chrome-plated brass plumbing pipes and chrome-plated zinc parts on faucets.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, in this never-ending quest to find a piece of pure chromium, I must ask, Can you buy chromium bullion anywhere? Because I have always heard that chrome was an expensive metal, or at least, not very cheap. I have thought about asking a chrome-plating dealer if they would sell me a nice descent size block of chrome, for a fairly reasonable price. I have also thought that I would like to get a solid chrome ring made, even though I have a fobia of rings getting stick on my fingers, and therefore, do not like wearing them. One thing that I have, that I was wondering was pure chrome, is this knife I got that says &quot;CASE XX CHROMIUM&quot; with numbers &quot;23-1&quot; above the spelling on it, but the knife is all full of rust, and I don&#039;t believe chrome rusts, because, why would they chrome-plate steel car parts with it then? Oh, and is pure chromium magnetic? I once chipped some chome-plating off a piece of a bent kitchen faucet base, and tried picking it up with a magnet and it stuck, but I also know that chrome-plated things sometimes get nickel-plated first, and I believe nickel is magnetic. Not sure about chromium though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
