I was wondering if any of you guys know a good source of hitachi blue #2.
I purchased some from Aldo a long time back and really enjoy working with this type of steel.
Where can I buy some from now?
Thanks
 
Dictum.com, but you have to play around with the amount you buy to get the lowest shipping cost. it seems to go up to the next level every 3 or 4 bars. They also have White #2 and some the laminated stuff, but not the steel with the stainless cladding.
 
workshop heaven in the UK.
19.5 x 1.18 x .17 thick will cost you about $60 plus shipping

my niece is bringing me my stock of laminated in September,
contact me If can assist.

just curious, why not use the laminated?, it's less costly
 
Dictum was considerably cheaper than workshop heaven the last time that I checked.The price that you pay is the listed price minus the 20% VAT. The shipping is not cheap. You need to run varying aunties through they order page to see where the best deal is. Their current price for a 500mm x 30mm x 4.5 mm bar of Blue is 33.36 Euros and I think that is with VAT. If that is the case, you are talking about 26 Euros or $30 with the dollar being as strong as it is now. . The bad news is that last time that I checked, shipping for one bar was almost as much as the cost of the steel, but you could ship up to 3 bars for that price, so the real price was like $40 per bar if you ordered the right way. I seem to recall that own you got up to like 10 bars or more, the shipping got a bit cheaper. The White #2 is about $7 a bar cheaper
