5 Pack 1095 Steel for Knife Making - 12"x2"x0.12" Annealed High Carbon Tool Steel Blanks, Precision Ground Flat Stock Bar for Knife Blades & DIY Projects

Todo perfecto y tal cual lo detalla el vendedor

product was new and was well packaged

To be honest I was skeptical. I thought for the price I couldn't go wrong. With the ability to return it if I didn't like it I decided to pull the trigger and bought 5 1.5x.12 bars. They were packaged just like described. The bars were exact, flat, and straight. I did a spark test and it was no doubt high carbon steel. It's made in China, but so is everything else. I turned those bullets into knife blanks. It took some work to surface grind the blanks to true them up, but not bad. I'm looking forward to beveling and finishing these knives. I will be buying more of this steel.

It is 1095 for sure. They say it is pre-annealed (normalized). I beg to differ. My files skid right off of these billets. If you want to be able to easily grind your bevels then you will have to re-anneal these yourself. Other than that, they are tough as nails and I am confident that my pieces made with these will be both hard and tough once hardened and tempered.

If you're looking for this kind of Steel this is the one that you want. Awesome 👍

Couldn’t be happier with this product. Easy to harder and make into knifes

The steel was easy to work with annealed. It was very strong after a heat treatment. I’d buy these blanks again.

As some have said already, save yourself some time and just anneal your steel before you work with it. otherwise, it's great steel
