(NEW STEEL) 15N20 for damascus
This is AISI 1075 w/ 2.1% nickel
Mill specs are; C-0.78%, Mn-0.39%, Ni-2.1%, Cr- 0.15% Spring tempered at (42-45 Rc)
Price does not include shipping -- Free shipping on $120.00 or more on Flat Rate Boxes (12" or less pcs)
For material that is .080" + or - thick.
1" x 4" $.50 ea. 1 1/4" x 4" $0.60 ea. 1 1/2" x 4" $0.75 ea.
1" x 6" $0.75 ea. 1 1/4" x 6" $0.85 ea. 1 1/2" x 6" $1.00 ea.
There is a limited amount of the thicker 15N20 that is .095" thick. It will still be $5.00 per pound plus shipping. It will have to be shipped by UPS and will cost approx. $20.00. This can be ideal for those that do small knives with water jet or laser cutting. The steel DOES NEED NORMALIZED BEFORE HEAT TREATING to reduce the grain size to make a suitable knife. Quench plates will work great on the thin steel and keep it straight when hardening. Tempering at 360 deg F for an hour and half will produce about a 58 Rc
13 1/4" x 36" x .095" - $65.00
Sheared to size for optimum time management and ease of making billets. These strips can be ordered the width that you specify. They will be priced at $5.00 per pound plus shipping. Flat rate shipping is $10.95 plus $0.65 for delivery confirmation. I can get about 30 pounds per box or more.

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. Below is a link to the thread. http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=159731&highlight=ray+kirk+bowie |

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 $11.65 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.
Custom rolling for hard to find sizes (3" x 30" limit) is $3.00 to $4.00 per pound plus material and shipping.
