Steel Sales

Being a small business has its joys and challenges, and of necessity you learn a little about a lot. We have been learning lately about steel. The steel industry is highly “sectored” as they say, and different grades of steel are handled through different supply and distribution chains. After a long search, Justin has found a steel company who would deal with a customer as small as we are, and late last year, we purchased 7,000 pounds of American steel. One way to look at it is a way to insulate ourselves from rising material costs. Another is how can we be of service to others.

We are now set up to supply our fellow toolmakers and blade smiths with USA production, hot rolled 5160 steel round bar in several useful sizes. We also cary 4150 in 2” round, and 52100 round drops in a wide range of sizes from a local industry. Check out our web store for complete details.
