Steel Supply
I was just wanting to get a thread goin' that ppl could put Their favorite steel supply on. I think it would be a great tool for newbies and experienced makers alike.
Just put the type of steel and supplier and how to get in contact with them. Thanx guys and gals. ~Matthew __________________ Through blood and long experience the only thing I trust completely is my Blade. |

Admiral Steel http://admiralsteel.com
Good points: fast shipping, well packed, good selection stainless and carbon steels, custom cuts (I bought 3" wide S30V). Bad points: S30V is sheared - so the edges aren't crisp ATS-34 < 1/8" is cold rolled, clean and smooth, like they say. But in final finish there is a visible grain. I kinda like it, but it's not good for a mirror finish. Still I like 'em. It's the only place, outside of Crucible you can get a good selection of S30V. Steve |

They have better prices than Admiral sometimes, but shipping is expensive. They have a minimum order of $26 or so before shipping. I get Carbon steel (10xx), so I don't know what they have in stainless. __________________ Nathan |

I have currently used Industrial Metal Supply to get my O1. They also cary A2 in stock. Both are in 3' lengths. They can order just about anything. I need to check with them on prices for 1084 before I order some online. Hopefully they can get me a competitive price.

I concur with JohnM www.toolanddie.com they have O-1, A-2,and D2 all precision ground. Best prices and choice of Timken-Latrobe Konkor, or Precision-Marshal steels. Best prices, no minimum, fast delivery.

Does anyone know of a supplier of NON-precision ground O-1 steel??? I forge all of my work, and quite simply do not need the added expense of precision ground steel...who cares what the exact size is when your heating and hammering to shape...
