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

These flat stock pieces are perfect for getting knife making started. They came packed tightly and very clean with no rust spots. Will work well for various sizes of knifes. Good price for the material.

Probably not the cheapest way to buy 1095 stock, but if you dont have a metal supply store near you, this is a convenient form factor for a knife blank or two. Cold rolled and partially annealed, this arrived at about 310 Vickers. For a stock removal forming process, thats fine-- it doesnt skate a file. There was a bit of a bow, which isnt uncommon with partial annealing of cold rolled, but might frustrate a beginner who got the most warped piece they ship and cant easily flatten it. But it was well packed in anti-corrosive and I measured it at 0.10.

My son and his uncle have a hobby of knife making with a home made forge. They stated that this was hard steel that was able to be worked into a knife.

Nice blanks. Came without any tarnish and are very flat with no deviation, oiled in wax paper and bubble wrap. I tried to bend one on the bench and it was very strong with minor flexing. All in all, worth the money. Time will tell how well they are when creating a blade, but we shall see. Worth it.

Its shiny, its hard, its magnetic, seems to be exactly what I ordered. Im no expert in making sure its exactly the type/hardness its supposed to be, but either way its steel, and the dimensions are correct. Came packaged well, no moisture, no rust. Ill be sure to update this review after working with some of the pieces, but Im sure Ill be just as pleased with it then as I am now. If you need some small pieces of flat stock for making things, this will do just fine.

These knife blanks are just the right size for making knives from small to large. The knife in the picture was not made from one of these blanks. I just used it for a size reference as it is a large butcher knife. The steel arrived in good shape with no rust and it is straight and well cut with no sharp burrs. 1095 is a probably the most widely used steel in knife making and should harden and hold an edge well.

These came as expected. They were well packed and oiled for shipping. The material was very consistent and I look forward to making blades with it. Were playing with the hardness tests and making our knives this weekend. This passed the snap test. It was properly annealed and we shocked it and got the expected result.

thats what im calling cheap but best. after finishing cutting edge is razor sharp, but really needs oiling after using, because even after one single day its surface getting rust

As description says, these are flat stock, and the surfaces a pretty darn smooth. Edges are a little rough. Impressed they came in wax based wrap, and very light oil coating. zero corrosion or pitting,.

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.
