1095 Steel Flat Stock for Knife Making-Annealed High Carbon Steel,Flat Steel Bars,12x1.5x0.12,4 Pack

Making knives? This 4 pack of flat steel bars is exactly the material to get. This 1095 stock is 12x1.5x0.12 in size and high carbon that has been rolled and annealed. When I opened the package, I noted it was in three different layers of rust proof oil and paper and then also bubble wrapped to help prevent damage and rust. I cannot imagine a better steel product for knife making or even using it in welding or as a spacer. It is a steal for the quality it brings too.

This bundle of steel plates is very nice it comes already polished cut to the correct length and thickness if you are using it for a straight 1095 blade you won’t have to do anything if you are doing some type of Damascus you’re definitely want to degrease the Steel as it does come with a thin film of oil on it this is a great amount of steel for making multiple knives for the price definitely worth it

I used this 1095 to make my own version of the Condor Bushlore. Pretty identical only 2 longer and with a nice set of tigerwood scales. The steel came annealed for easy machining and after two thermocycles I got the steel to bright orange (non magnetic) and plunged it into some Parks 50 quench oil. Tempered for 1 hour at 400 degrees. I am really pleased with the toughness, hardness and razor sharp efficiency of this blade. . .ordering again today!

Weather is finally getting better so I can get going on blacksmithing. This metal will be great for starting a knife and other projects.

All my prices were bent

Package contents as described. Mostly flat, smooth, ready to turn into something useful like a knife. No rust - well packaged in that regard. I was a little disappointed that these were shipped without an other box. They all have a slight bend to them, probably from shipping abuse. Certainly not a ground flat item as received, but these also were not advertised to meet that standard.

These steel blanks come shiny (not polished, but free of scale) and oiled. They were exactly 1.50 wide and 1.20 thick (so not quite the 1.25 of 1/8). Mine all had a slight bow to them over the 12 length, but its not anything I wouldnt be able to correct for. All-in-all, a decent product for the money.

I am not a knife-maker -- yet! But these steel bars are exactly what I wanted. They appear to be just as they are advertised, and Im happy with them.

Knifes come out to heavy

Theres not a lot to say about steel blanks, but these are as advertised: well-packaged, corrosion-free, dimensions are as promised. I lack the lab equipment to verify the carbon content, but Im confident these are going to produce excellent results.
