Where do you get steel from?

Hi, I was wondering where you get your steel from? Do you get it locally, or is there anywhere on online I can get it? Thanks.

In the US I order from Enco and NJ Steel Baron, LLC - Home

I would ask the question on the British Blades forum for UK suppliers

Thanks, I will look in to it.

I bought some 01 from Cromwell steels.
Cromwell Industrial Tools UK: 1/4"x1.1/4"x18" GROUND FLAT STOCK : CTL-413-0709K

I've used all these and found them to be reliable. I hate to say it, but it has sometimes been cheaper to buy from a U.S supplier with the cost of shipping included, than my local mob in the last link.
I've tried to source quality steel in my own area but I've had issues with either, the companys will only deal in large orders, or the people have no idea what I'm talking about when I use commonly designated grade names for steel i.e O1, D2, 440c, ATS34.

aldo is working on a dealling with that cute knife making girl from Oz to set up a container of steel and then have her resell so ppl in OZ will have a good sorce and maybe not get hammered by the shipping cost

Thanks for the replies. (I've been away so have been unable to respond) I will look into it, thanks.

Would this piece be a good start?

Shipping is $32 :(

Depending on what application your are looking to do with it I have a piece of tool steel that is about 1" X 12" X 1/2" (actually have a few pieces that my Dad gave me ). PM me if your interested.

Thanks Troggie

I had some steel from here:

Precision Ground Tool Steels, Ground Flat Stock, Gauge Plate - Sheffield Gauge Plate Ltd, Sheffield, UK

Thanks Troggie for the offer though, appreciate it.

Glad you were able to find something more local.

Cheers, I do appreciate the offer though.
