So What Does 500lbs of O-1 look like????

[A C Richards]

Like this. Just picked up this O-1. Came out to be 510lbs. Sizes are .5x10 up to1x2x36. Got it from Pacific Machinery and Tool Steel. Some will also be for sale on for sale page.

I love that place!!!!!! Just made a steel run myself last week and bought two bars of 5160 and 1 of 1095

Like a kid in a candy store.... i have never seen a real steel wholesaler before.

Ain't that the truth!!!!! My 8 year old was with me and we were scanning the 5160 rack. He says to me "Dad. You could make a whole lot of knives if you had all that steel." Yes I could

Chuck, Thought you said you got the O-1 from the scrape yard to. I've been to Pacific many times. They do have a couple boxes around back you can go diving in. It used to be free but don't know anymore. Do you have any 1 1/2" X 1"? I don't need any steel but I thought I'd ask.

I think so..... Want to beat on some???? I got the 52100 from the scrap yard the O-1 from Pacific. Yeh the box's out back are not free anymore. They are cheaper than stock but still have to pay for it. Was checking on line and O-1 is going for about $10/lb. And you wonder why I want to get all I will ever need for 3 lifetimes.
