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

Overall, this will work for me. Each piece is 1 foot by about 1.5 inches and a little over a 10th of inch thick. The pieces are nice, clean, and consistent and well packaged. Of the 4 pieces one is slightly curved though for me this will not prove to be a problem (I intend to get to making a tail vise mount for my work bench). For knife making, if I have a leftover piece this will make a nice Nakiri-style blade that Ill flatten slightly to end up with a 7 inch rectangular blade. For the price for 4 pieces this a good deal. For someone strictly making knives getting a curved/bowed piece might make using the full piece for a larger knife somewhat difficult. For me this wont be an issue.

As others have noted, the dimensions of this 1095 flat stock are slightly under the claimed size for all measurements. However, for a beginning knife-maker, this is a convenient source for an annealed high-carbon steel. This flat stock is pretty well-suited to making a cut-out knife, but rather thin to start with for a forging technique. Circling back to the idea of being a good fit for a beginning knife-maker, though, this offers a chance to refine your grinding and shaping techniques without the complexity of making a full-forged blade.

I had no trouble getting this uo to temp and making a knife, it hardened very well with no cracks. great quality

Never thought I would be able to get raw steel for my husbands love of making knives, but here you can get everything. They arrived very promptly, and they were exactly what the description said they were. I am sorry that I didnt whip out my calipers to make sure that they were PERFECT...good sometimes is good enough in the forge. Looking forward to seeing what he makes with them.

These are good blanks. They made decent knives.

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.

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

Very good quality and quick delivery!

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.

Nice clean precut lengths Just right to make into a knife or a tool. 1095 is easy to. Work with... easy to harden and easy to temper. It makes fine knives that take a wicked edge . Good small parts for machines.... good tools... and treatment is snap. Im happy and this works well
