Aloha All,

This is more of my stash but in smaller stock sizes... some that can be forged by hand...

If you have been around for a while... you know that years back Don Hanson ABS Mastersmith offered up some of his personal stash of W2 steel... this steel offers amazing hamons as well as overall excellent performance in small as well as large blades.... Sadly he sold out quickly but not before I could secure my own stash for that one day when I could forge my own... no worries... I am keeping some for myself...

I am offering some of my stash of this very special W2 purchased from Don Hanson way back in 2006.
(Please note that I have again asked his permission to use his name and checked with him on the content of this post including prices.. so nothing hidden... please feel free to contact him if you know him and check anything out... Thank-you once again Don... you're so very a special awesome guy! )

(A member asked below so I am posting here for anyone else interested...
Here is the original thread, if you go to post 5 and post 24... Don posted the specs for most of these smaller sizes... a further search has the specs on other sizes

and if you scroll through all 10 pages there's some great info on this steel from a bunch of folks and you'll see at least 4 from me ordering some of my boxes of this great steel! ;)

I have available the following (note I used my bathroom scale ... so weights are approximate... best I had so I'm going with it )

This smaller stock... than previously offered... some of which can forged by hand... and it is a bit more valuable... I am offering this to members here at $GONE a pound per bar shipped Priority Mail, insured with tracking to the USA.

PM for Paypal addy if you want to go that way... +2% fees please... sincerely appreciated....


Please note that there is very little difference, at least on my two calipers between 7/8" and 15/16" and the weight seems to bear that out, but they are marked as such... so I'm going with that ;)

The maximum weight I will ship at a time in each flat rate box is @50 lbs (heaviest bundle so far)... I know I can go up to 70 lbs but the old folks at my post office really like me and I'd like to keep it that way

Thanks all for looking....

Hope this helps some Members who might want to grab some of this long long time sold out amazing W2 steel... Thanks again Don!

Have a great week!

Take Care and God Bless,

I'd like a bundle of the 7/8" stock if still available.
I can't send a P/M so I sent you an e-mail on the p-pal address inquiry.

Thanks,
Kevin
