## Description

1080 High Carbon Annealed Forging Steel Barstock for Knife Making - 1/8" x 1-1/4" x 12"

## Features

- 1080 is a moderately high carbon content forging steel used for making knives. This oil quenching steel is in the annealed state.
- Iron alloy contains 0.88% carbon, 0.90% manganese, 0.05% sulphur, and 0.04% phosphorus.
- Dimensions are 1/8" x 1-1/4" x 12".
- Layer 1080 with 15N20 to forge Damascus, and etch with Ferric Chloride to bring out the contrast. Higher carbon steels like 1080 will keep an edge much better than stainless steels, but are also more susceptible to rust without proper care.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good metal.
*by T***Y on January 15, 2022*

Good metal works very and takes heat treat very good also. I did two primitive style blades no polishing. Hardened good and the temper did really good too. Ordering more.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product
*by R***S on August 1, 2019*

Made knifes from it, great high carbon steel and it heat-treats very well and it’s strong as hell beat the heck out of a test piece and there was bearly any damage nothing that a bit of resharping wouldn’t fix I will deff buy it again for my next set of knifes I make

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good for Forging.
*by M***L on July 25, 2017*

Great Stock for knives. It forged very well, very even. I stacked a few pieces on top of each other and ended up cutting and folding about four times. It held up during the quench, no warps, and was a very easy heat treat. Tempering was solid, and ended up with a decent bowie. Recommended for anybody who enjoys just playing around in the forge.
