Does anyone know where to get ATS-34 at reasonable prices? I like to buy in bulk to save on shipping. So far Admiral Steel is the only place I've found. Looking for other foundries/places to buy.

Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
 
Unless you are just dead set on ATS-34 I would get some 154CM or CPM 154 from Aldo Bruno at NJ Steel Baron. ATS-34 & 154CM are basically the same chemistry and the heat treat is exactly the same. However, I find that 154CM is much cleaner that ATS-34. CPM 154 is even better and only a few buck more for the same size bar. CPM 154 is a well respected steel and you can't go wrong by using it. Its also made right here in the good ol' US of A.
 
Go with Aldo...he has CPM 154 and it doesnt cost much more than ats34 and is totally boss for knives
 
I've worked extensively with both materials. Like ATS 34 the most out of the materials mentioned. l'll check out the link, thanks.
If anyone else has any ideas on where to buy ATS 34, please mention.
