mkustom Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 My press is up and running and I fianlly had some time to make up some pattern steel. The dark one is 42 layers of 1084 and 15N20, the other is L-6 and 1084 with 64 layers, they are both in a simple random pattern. Comments welcome. Thanks for looking.

Drifter Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Love the looks of the pattern. Where does one aquire the 15N20? Drifter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkustom Posted September 11, 2009 Author Share Posted September 11, 2009 I get the 15N20 from Admiral Steel in Chicago. You can find them on line. You can also get it from any knife supply company as well as ask here in the forum there may be some available. The press is hydrolic with an electric motor.

me miller Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Ray Kirk at rakerknives also has 15n20 for sale. HE has it listed on his website and will also sell you bigger pieces that you can cut whatever size you want. his material is band saw material that never got the teeth put on it.
