Try sending a pm to iggyskier, I'm pretty sure he is one of, if not the, main men running the show at ON3P so I'm sure he has to buy his product in bulk. Maybe try emailing some companies too.

I don't know an awful lot about ski construction, but aren't most edges good old fashioned 1/4" steel stock?

no they are maybe 1/8" but they have teeth, and are hard as hell to find in a mass amount

this is probably your best bet.
i know they use super high quality edges though, so you might end up spending more than you want

It ain't easy. Skibuilders.com forums is a heck of a lot better place to get info than NS though. Just saying. You'll get informed answers instead of "ski edge material stores." Skibuilders.com is good if you want material for a few pairs of skis, things get tricky when you want a few hundred.
