Patriot Steel - 1095 High Carbon Knife Making & Forging Steel 12x1.5x.125 (Four Pack)

Could be 15 or 16 inches. Good material for forging knives.

Product is ok. Edge are beveled as if the were press cut. Not precision ground. For price and shipping overall good product

The knives I made with this are holding up well under regular use I’m happy with the purchase

Will Purchase again

Will make great knives

Came straight and good quality steel

Came with all 4, 3 are straight, 1 is warped. No rust or other imperfections

To state upfront, I am new the knife making (but looking forward to starting a new hobby). The reasons I purchased from this seller was that the cost was a little cheaper and I felt that it would be easier for me to start with 1/8 thick material. Bars came wrapped in butcher paper. Each bar was straight and I didnt notice any significant gouges. Tip for newbies: For those who dont have a bandsaw or grinder - you can rough in your general shape with a standard hacksaw pretty easily. Edit 1: I was able to heat treat using a buddys oven. No noticeable warping - wahoo! Spent a fair amount of time sanding, but eventually came away with something I was happy with. Finished things off with some simple scales (red oak stock I purchased from HD). Overall, it was a pleased with this steel.

All 4 pieces of steel in my pack were crooked as a dogs hind leg. I have spent so much time trying to square them up. I dont fully understand the process of getting the flat bars ready for sale, but i know that I expect flat steel. Quality control should be a priority for a product that has american flags stamped all over it. Bring back the quality please!

The Steel is great. Just made my first knife and excited to use the other bars for more.
