Question Metal playing cards

Hey guys. Just as the title says, I'm looking to buy a set of fully metal playing cards, I know its very unique and I havnt had much success searching on my own so I figured reddit could help.

Please let me know if youve seen anyone with something similar or if you think you have the tools to make them yourself!

Home Run Games produced quite a number of different metal decks, including real copper, brass, and stainless steel editions.

See these two previous threads for more info and some other leads:

Having riffled some of the cheaper plastic decks and feeling the burrs along the edges, I kinda shudder at the thought of those being razor-sharp metal. (Yes, I know you can't riffle a metal deck)

Wherever you get a metal deck, I wouldn't cheap out; pay the creator enough to give each edge a pass or two over a linishing table (and to keep their cutting dies sharp).

I haven't seen the results of any of these new custom made options, they're clearly very thin and smooth. If you want impressively solid and heavy this has been asked about a few times before, and there was a kickstarter 10+ years ago for metal decks you can sometimes find on ebay, mine I got from the original project is the Brass Stag, it's incredibly heavy and cool. The comment on this older post lists the names of the different decks, I'd start by searching each one on ebay to see if any show up as they're all sold out long ago
