The small size helps a lot, but I will tell you that this stuff moves easier than some identically sized 9260 that i got from Admiral. To my mind, the W2 that I got from Don Hanson and the big 1084 from Aldo/Mace also seem to move a fair bit easier than comparably sized O1 or 5160.Email sent Mace. Most steel moves OK under the hammer but your 1084 moves great. If I see him anytime soon I will pass the message on.
I'm looking forward to that batch of W2. If you had to estimate; how many months do you think it will be until the W2 is smelted?
