I have used this steel to pass my performance tests for the Journeyman and Mastersmith tests of the ABS and to win a lot of the cutting competitions of the ABS Hammer-Ins. It was used to placed first in the 5" hunting knife, 8" tactical, 10" regular cutting and the first First Place at the Spirit of Steel with a 10" damascus blade of 52100 and 15N20. For those that may want a bit of back ground on the steel and how it performs, Cliff Stamp did a test on it several years ago and some of the results were posted on Blade Forums.

Shipping address zip code is 74465 and USPS calculator is http://postcalc.usps.gov/ to help calculate the shipping costs to your address. I ship priority mail unless otherwise specified by customer.
Priority mail has a flat rate box that I can ship at least 30 pounds in for $12.65 plus $.65 confirmation cost. If you can use pieces in lengths of 12" long, then that would be the cost of shipping priority. I have also included a list of the places I will be in the coming year for those that live close enough to pick up their orders.
