Heck Aldo, i'll give it a try. Let me know if you get some in.

I'll be sure to get a piece out to you, but first things first Chuck. We just got delivery on 1/8, 3/16 and 1/4 1084 along with the long awaited W-2. Just came back from where the bar is being processed. Things seem to be on schedule for deliveries at the end of the month.:thumbup:

Cool. I'll have to order some 1/4 X 1.5 1084. I'm almost out.

Is there a problem?

 

[Aldo Bruno]

Just changing things around for a few days Chuck. We'll be back up soon.

Aldo, I'll be glad to try some of that 80CrV2.

 

[Kryptoglow]

Been sick lately.Thanks for all the help in this quest.I'll definitely take some of the 80CrV2.This will be my first piece of raw steel ever purchased so please bear with me.
?1-Could it be had in 1/4x2"x14" or longer? 5/16"x2x14 or longer?1/4x3x14"+
?2-I have seen different language like flat ground....Can I get it already ground to a dull edge or just stock and grind myself?
Thanks again,Dan

 

[A C Richards]

Dan.

Normally flat ground is when a bar of steel has been ground as a bar to remove the surface scale. Surface ground is when it had been precision ground to a very flat a parallel condition. Aldo may be able to get in varying widths and thicknesses but I will leave that to him to answer.

We've been selling 80CrV2 as 1080+ for the last few years. It is an excellent steel. We didn't use the name 80CrV2 because knifemakers thought it was a steel made in China.

Here is a page off our website comparing 1080+ with other steels:
