This family of tool steel offers a wide array of material choices
not available from producers of strip-sharpened blades. Choose the high
wear of D-2, the shock resistance of S-7, the corrosion resistance of
ATS 34, the balanced wear and toughness properties of A-2, or give us
a call for even more tool steel options.
