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

Howdy folks! Overall, this is decent entry level steel to start making knives with. Two of the four flats did not come annealed ( or werent as well annealed as the other two) and were a bit of a pain to work with hand tools. For the price, they arent too shabby; but be prepared to bust out the power tools if the annealing wasnt done correctly. Absolutely great for getting started with knife making for the price!

These pieces are great, very little cleaning up before using them. I dont personally forge, I got these for welding practice, but they are cleaner than the steel you can buy just about anywhere. Most of that takes a decent amount of work to clean off, but not these. Im sure forgers would appreciate it too. I have no idea if they are the steel they say they are, but certainly seem to be excellent steel.

Good steel as discribed.

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

I’m not a knife maker, but I like keeping stock around to make scrapers and blades that can be hardened and sharpened. This is great stuff.

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

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.
