W2 up-date:
As of 12-8-06 I still have a good bit, around 500 lbs of 7/8'', 1200 lbs of 1-1/8'', just about sold out of 1-1/4'' but found another 2200 lbs. Will have 3/4'' round soon. My sources for W2 are drying up, so if ya'll want any, now is a good time. I have edited my first post to show quantity discount.

Thanks all,

Don, I'd be interested in a few pieces of 3/4" after the new year. Keep us posted on availability and price.

The 3/4'' is in, I'll figure a price and post it soon.

Joe, I figure I have around 20 years worth squirreled away for me, I don't want to run out

 

[Kalimalena]

Email coming your way for more....

Let me know, man. I have found from working with the 3/4 5160 round bar that it can be flatttened and drawn out by hand to about perfect stock size for hunters.

Here are some pictures from Don's W2 factory a few weeks ago:

I understand Don spent most of today unloading another shipment! Hope you find time to make a few knives for us soon, Don!!

Yea Joe, I need to quit messing with all this steel and get to working on knives I enjoyed your visit the other day.

You know, Don the advatage of selling steel instead of knives is that, although the profit margins are lower, you don't have to do much in the way of manual labor other than lifting, sawing and packing

You're right Joe M., but I do much better ($$$) when making knives
