Being as new to this as is possible, I hope this is not an inappropriate question for the forum. I searched and found nothing so far. I would like to find a Steel Supplier in the US from whom I can buy Hitachi White steel. Can anyone suggest a supplier? Thanks in advance.

Michael

You have asked a good question and that is what the ABS Forum is for.

Have you checked with Aldo Bruno the " New Jersey Steel Baron"?

Hello Michael. I have looked and so far the only way I have found to get it is from Hitachi at exorbitant prices and a minimum order. However from the composition it would appear to be similar to W-1 or Aldo's high quality 1095, which by the way is really good steel. If you have no luck, give Aldo a call and talk with him. 973-949-4140. Good luck

Dan and Brion thank you both for your responses. I will follow up with Aldo. And thanks also for the alternate suggestions.
