1095 Steel Flat Stock for Knife Making-Annealed High Carbon Steel,Flat Steel Bars,12"x1.5"x0.12",4 Pack

good quality metal amazing for knife making

This steel sparks, hardens and acid etches just like 1560 & I've forged with both types. Nothing like the 1095 I got from the UK last time I purchased some, and is more a lighter grey when etched. To be a fair review, it was very clean, well wrapped steel and needed little preparation for damascus & at least it wasnt mild steel i suppose, but I'd prefer 1095 I need to prepare than 1560 that doesn't.

Good stuff. Came straight and flat. I annealed them before cutting.

Price is good. Shipped flat and rust free. Definitely hardened though. Needed annealing.

These came in nice and flat, well oiled to prevent rusting, and proper dimensions. The only downside I found with theses is my lack of skills.

You're marketing this to a group of people that has the equipment and means to anneal steel. Why market it as annealed when it takes about 5 minutes to realize it isn't. Why lie? We'd likely buy it anyway.

I’m not very experienced yet, not sure if it’s actually annealed. This stuff is pretty hard but I’m new to 1095. It kinda seems like there was a hard shell on the outer layer. Maybe I just needed to grind a layer off. No rust and pretty good price!
