I made the step between my two floors and although it's made from hard wood I think a strip of brass would help to preserve the edge.
I had a quick look online but I couldn't find anything longer than a metre. Rather than have a joint can anyone suggest where I might find a strip of brass five feet long and about an inch and a half wide. Something salvaged would be a bonus.

Brass keel strip may be suitable. Speak to the Bosun's Locker in Port Edgar (Sth Queensferry) they may be able to source.
An old trombone?

Chandlers might be the way to go.

"Stair nosing" is a good search term for you.
