When Ordering 01 Tool Steel It Is Listed As Either Decarb Free Or Ground Which Is Better? And Why?
 
Usually ground [ as apposed to hot rolled] is decarb free. In your case the decarb free would be guaranteed decarb free. Ground might have some decarb. It depends on what you'll do with it .For forging it doesn't matter .For stock removal it saves you some work of not grinding off the decarb.
