armymedic.2 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 So far all of my blade smithing have been knives from springs and im looking for a source of known steel to start practicing longer blades (dirks mostly). Any sources you all have as a go to that ships reasonably? Thanks for your input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin1050 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I use Aldo the New Jersey Steel Baron. Never had an issue with his stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armymedic.2 Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 Awesome. I ordered from them and am waiting to see how timely they are. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.w.s. Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I typically get stuff from Aldo in about 2 days and I've liked everything I've gotten from him. His W2 has become my defacto knife steel, I use his 15N20 and 1095 or 1084 for my Damascus and I'm really tempted to buy some Hitachi Blue before it's gone. -J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armymedic.2 Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 I got my shipment today of a few different steels. Nine days after i ordered so i suppose thats not too bad but not really quick either. It was well packed and labeled. Overall Im satisfied. Im only in ny though so im wondering how you get yours in two days and mine takes more than a week. Maybe they have a first time customer prejudice :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
