I spend 20% of my time losing pocket knives at airport security, these $17 amazon vevor and vevor knockoffs are best compromise for features and cheap loseability I still haven’t found the perfect (available) home depot replacement knife, any recs?

How is it that the only alternative is a motor from a scenic factory in the alps made by dudes who look like this and ask you to request a quote on their website after you defeat several layers of cookie modals

This is right, you can weld electrical steel laminations where the magnetic flux density is low because the wasteful eddy currents you’re avoiding are very local to flux dense areas. Not much potential difference between lams far from the flux paths
The welds occur far from the center of the magnetic field, so total permeability/saturation issues will be minimal. You'll often see regular stepper motors with a weld line down the side
