If you're getting into the world of knife-making using the forging method, instead of the stock removal method, we have the steel blade blanks for you, already in lengths so you can take them straight to the forge.

We carry the most commonly used blade steel blanks. Whether you are a beginner bladesmith or a master we have many of the steels you need to make beautiful hand-forged blades. We have the most common steels for making Damascus, such as 1095 High-carbon steel and 15N20 nickel steel. Many beginners start with our 1075/80 carbon steel, it is a eutectoid steel very similar in characteristics to 1084 high carbon steel, which we have as well. If your previous knives came from a truck why not try some 5160 spring steel? A high carbon chrome-vanadium, 80CrV2 is a tough steel. It has the qualities of a 1075/80 blade steel, with the addition of high chrome steel like 5160. If you're looking for a steel that can be readily forged and ground alike and only needs a very simple heat treat like 5160 then 80CrV2 is the blade steel for you.

If there is a steel that you want to use for forging a blade let us know and we will see if we can make it available to you and our other customers.

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.
