I agree I only get my steel from NJ steel barron for a few reasons.....One reason is I have been told say 1084 (what would be best for you) from one manufacture to another the make up could be SLIGHTLY different but could change the heat treat a bit so I would say pick a supplier and stay with them if you can.....I got 440c from usa knife maker once and it didn't harden as much as the stuff from nj steel with the same exact heat treat only time I didn't order from nj steel.....but njsteel is great they are quick shipping is quick for me as I am right next door in NY but they are good people and willing to work with you for what you need
