Blue Blade Steel: Your Partner in Quality, Economy, Reliability and Speed

Established in 1928, Blue Blade Steel has grown to become the premier harden and tempering mill in the United States.  With a long family history in the steel industry, Jerry Shaw Sr., grandson of Elizabeth and Arthur Purdy (owners of A.R. Purdy Steel Company est. approximately 1920), and son of Ralph Shaw Jr. (Vice President of National Steel Corporation), bought Blue Blade Steel in 1978 with one purpose in mind: to facilitate customer relationships through customer satisfaction.  From humble beginnings in Newark, New Jersey Blue Blade Steel has grown to become the highest quality producer of high carbon, alloy, and stainless strip steel through this customer-centric philosophy.  With a single product focus - hardened and tempered strip steel - the company has experienced continued growth by facilitating new partnerships in a variety of industries and building mutually beneficial relationships.
