With Ashokan coming up in a week, I figured I ought to give our very own ALdo Bruno - The New Jersey Steel Baron - a call to get my order for some stuff in. I've been fooling around with tomahawks lately, and sure enough Aldo's got some 1" square stock in 1080 that'll fit the bill perfectly. I'm down to about 6 inches of the gorgeous 3/8" 1095 stock I got last year, so I asked him to bring me some of that, too - stuff makes great hamon, which I mentioned was my goal.

"Hamon, you say?" queries Uncle Aldo. "What do you want 1095 for that for, when I've got some fresh W2 coming in?":D:D:D:D


Stay tuned, kids! Aldo just scored a bunch of new stuff, including getting L6 rolled out, a lot of 52100... pure awesomeness!!!!!!
 
Actually Jason, The bars I had a few weeks ago were bars I cut from round stock while trying to tune up the Plate Saw(from hell) that I mistakingly bought. It took about an hour a bar to cut it. It was from a 1,500 pound load of Bohler I picked up a few months ago. The new stuff is being rolled to 1/4+.02 5/16"+.02 and 3/8" FLAT. I hope they nail the formula I called for.

If you're interested in any of it please let me know. We are running an 8 ton heat and splitting it equally across the 3 sizes. The load is expected to be complete the 2nd week in Dec.(Merry Christmas!) and, if there are no delays should be ready to turn into beautiful knives and swords by the end of January.

Hey Aldo
You bringing any 15N20 to Ashokan? I need some 1 1/2 inch wide to layer with that beautiful 1084 I got from you

Aldo, What's going on with the 52100 and L6? This is September, right?
 
Totally interested in some W2. Please let me know when it is ready.
 
Aldo's got STEEL!
He brought a selection to Ashokan and opened up the back of his van and it was a steel EMPORIUM! He has CPM steels (I bought some CPM 154 to start making some kitchen cutlery) He has 15N20 that is burr free, flat some of it cut into billet length pieces and bundled. I bought 4 bundles, they are already so nicely cleaned up on the edges with the shearing burr removed that they sit dead flat with no visable gaps. He's got all sorts and shapes of steel and a whole lot more coming! Oil hardening, air hardening, water hardening, and stainless he had it all!

Page, Did he get the flat L6 in?
 
Yes I would have gotten some of that too if it weren't another 11 days till payday with an already overly thin wallet. I pulled a couple sticks out looked in my wallet and put them back without asking how much because I knew if I asked they would be too inexpensive to pass up but that would leave me short on gas money for getting to work :(
