Well, it sure wouldn't hurt to stock up. Prices may increase and I suspect the specialty stuff we use would be the first products dropped if they need to trim their production further. I guess what I'm thinking is that knifemakers are probably the smallest part of their customer base, so...

as bad as it sounds they are nto the only specialty steel maker out ther
i love them and the ppl but if the biz was not run well then they need to rethink some stuff
if i had a few K$ i would stock up on some of the stuff i use the most and might talk the kitchen knife guys into helping me get a few sheets of cpm154 in 3/32 thickness
between that and my cpm3v use i can due without all the other stuff if i have to

O i see how it is, it is not very long and has to be forged to size. its like a 8" by 8" by 2" thick block so not real good for stock removal. but then again i have not tried forging it yet.

Has anyone talked to the guys at crucible about what might happen with speciality steels? Or the business in general? I know there are guys here who keep up with that stuff alot better than I'll ever do just wondering if anything has been mentioned.

Did you get it direct from Crucible? That didn't occur to me
OK, you're not a bad guy then.
Yikes. Have fun with that.
