Hand laying spikes

My lifetime supply of Kemtron and Shinohara spikes, code 70,
just ran out. Ordered some 3/8" through Walthers from
Micor Engineering but the look like they're on steroids or
something. Had to clip half the head off everyone just to
get by.
Is there still anything decent on the market other than
Walther's and Micro Engineering? If so, any info
would be appreciated.
Thanks.

This may be too far the other direction. Near scale size stainless steel.

Don't know, didn't search, BUT, you might still be able to get Kenmtron spikes from Precision Scale.
