1095 Knife-Making Blade Steel
In stock
1095 Annealed High-Carbon Steel.
Often used with 15n20 to make Damascus.
Warping - a slight bend in material is completely normal, as our material comes directly from the Mill where it is rolled off a coil and the material might recall the natural curvature of the coil. Additionally, please note that cutting of the material will relieve the stress that is causing the bend. It is more than likely that the bend will correct itself as you move forward in your process.
**48" Lengths will be CUT IN HALF for shipment**

1095 High-Carbon Steel Blade Stock: Annealed
The highest of the carbon grades, this is a continuous cast, fine grain, fully killed steel (#5 or better). Material is low phosphorus, low sulfur, and calcium treated to enhance internal cleanliness.
In the as-rolled condition, the 1095 high-carbon steel blade stock is well-suited for abrasion-resistant applications. In the annealed condition, the material may be cold formed (hot forming suggested for critical bends) with excellent heat treatment results.
