Selected User Reviews For Whole Earth Supply D-2 D2 Billet Bar Steel for Custom Knife Making Blank Blade Knives Blades Blanks
Exactly what they claim it is. This steel is tough as nails. The knife I bought was my first attempt at making one. I first cut the piece to shape with a fresh blade on my band saw before joining it together. With its teeth gone, the band saw barely scratched the D2, losing all its teeth. In the case of my angle grinder, I did the job the saw couldn't. A lot of these things are barely touched by files. There are a lot of problems associated with it.
I really like the way D2 works for me. Very happy with my purchase and would definitely order again. So that I don't have to grind so much, I wish they sold it in 1/16".
As far as I can tell, it had not been annealed when I bought It made a really cool knife, though.
I like the fast shipping and the quality of the product.
There are many benefits to using this product. A crack does not appear and the structure is dimensional. There was no erosion or rust on any of the parts.
Thanks a lot.
The billet has come in fast and has been a pleasure to work with. It is of very high quality, and we will be buying more soon.
