Hello Breeze,

my name is Achim Wirtz and i am living near Aachen at only 5 km from the belgian frontier. I have good contacts to german steel mills and i can tell you that many of the tool steels used in the USA are actually coming from Europe. D2 is 1.2379 and O1 is 1.2510 in the european system. If you are looking for steels, feel free to send me an email because i can get many things.
Best regards,
Achim
