Patriot Steel - 1095 High Carbon Knife Making & Forging Steel 12x1.5x.125 (Four Pack)

Cut the billets in half and used to forge 8 smaller knives. Easy to use and a nice size to start forging with.

To state upfront, I am new the knife making (but looking forward to starting a new hobby). The reasons I purchased from this seller was that the cost was a little cheaper and I felt that it would be easier for me to start with 1/8 thick material. Bars came wrapped in butcher paper. Each bar was straight and I didnt notice any significant gouges. Tip for newbies: For those who dont have a bandsaw or grinder - you can rough in your general shape with a standard hacksaw pretty easily. Edit 1: I was able to heat treat using a buddys oven. No noticeable warping - wahoo! Spent a fair amount of time sanding, but eventually came away with something I was happy with. Finished things off with some simple scales (red oak stock I purchased from HD). Overall, it was a pleased with this steel.

Exactly what they say it is high carbon , did spark test with great results its American made great quality, would definitely recommend this steel, also its annealed and ready to heat or cut

Easy to work with. Hardened nicely and holds a good edge.

Everything arrived on time as described my only disappointment was my fault I seen them and thought the flags were etched into the metal I was hoping to be able to work around them and have the flags on my final product unfortunately it is only a stamp that wipes right off guess I’m going to learn how to put the flags on myself

This steel met all my expectations. I blanked out this Nessmuk knife pattern earlier today. It was a pleasure working with this steel. It throws sparks just like high carbon steel should! Bought because it was made in the US. I’m going to make a set of knives for my brothers and dad for Christmas. Will definitely be ordering more.

Came straight and good quality steel

This product is always high quality.. I have ordered from them multiple times it is always quickly delivered and and just as described

Will Purchase again

Good product, second time ordering but only received 2 of the 4 pieces of steel in this second order. Not sure how I can get the rest sent?
