O2 steel

[mostho]

Most times I use this O2 steel for my blades and I found it very easy and very reliable steel, similar to O1, i found almost no differences.
And gives me some satisfaction expecially on small blades (blade under 10 cm) that are my actual runs.

Since I'm in knife making from only one year and a half, has anyone experience with it to share or some comments about it?

Cheers

Just like 01, except has no chromium and more manganese. No longer available in the USA.

Good knife steel, but Very good in damascus.

thanks Don for the reply.
Here it is my favourite i can obtain quite goodd results.
It is also common here in italy and it is relatively not pricey.

Cheers
