I just ordered some 1084 from Aldo and can't wait or I guess I'll have to. But I got some 1/4" x 1 1/4" and some 3/16 x 1" stuff. Also got some satinite. I have benn using leaf springs and even though it will make a tuff blade it will be nice to use some stuff thats closer to the width and thickness I need.
 
Fresh clean 1084 is a big step up from old leaf springs. I think you'll be pleased, Aldo's stuff makes a tough, durable blade and can hold a fine sharp edge surprisingly well :thumbup:
 
Aldo, I just got the steel today and man thats some clean stuff. It beats the livin daylights out of that leaf spring junk ive been using.
Soon as I get some fuel in my tank I can't wait to get goin on it. Thanks, Marlin

For the sake of clarity, I'm comparing the durability of thin edges made of Aldo's 1084 at 58 Rc to CPM-154 at 58-60 Rc. My CPM-154 blades definitely stay sharp longer, but not by as wide a margin as I would have thought before comparing them.

I do like high-alloy steels very much. However, I've said it before and I'll say it again, if Aldo's 1084 was the only steel I could get, I wouldn't lose a moment's sleep. It's really good stuff.

Aldo's 1084 beats the 1095 I got from someone else, lots less pitting, lots less surface grinding req'd. Good stuff.

Keep up the good work Aldo
