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

The good thing about these is that they do come well packaged. All four pieces are wrapped at once in the paper though, so nothing between each piece of steel. VERY light rust prevention oil (almost imperceptible), but it is there. All four pieces do measure 1.500 by 12. They are not quite 0.12 thick, though. My measurements ranged from 0.1145 - 0.1180 thick across each piece. Do not make the assumption that these are 1/8 thick because they are not. two of pieces seem to be quite flat, but two of the pieces have a bend and will require flattening. Overall, I cant say not to buy them for the price, but know what to expect when you receive them.

I am not a knife-maker -- yet! But these steel bars are exactly what I wanted. They appear to be just as they are advertised, and Im happy with them.

My son and his uncle have a hobby of knife making with a home made forge. They stated that this was hard steel that was able to be worked into a knife.

Overall, this will work for me. Each piece is 1 foot by about 1.5 inches and a little over a 10th of inch thick. The pieces are nice, clean, and consistent and well packaged. Of the 4 pieces one is slightly curved though for me this will not prove to be a problem (I intend to get to making a tail vise mount for my work bench). For knife making, if I have a leftover piece this will make a nice Nakiri-style blade that Ill flatten slightly to end up with a 7 inch rectangular blade. For the price for 4 pieces this a good deal. For someone strictly making knives getting a curved/bowed piece might make using the full piece for a larger knife somewhat difficult. For me this wont be an issue.

Its a very nice 1095 flat bar, ready to use. Was shipped fast! Good quality steel!

Well packaged arrived in good condition wrapped in rust proof paper inside bubble wrapped envelope. Ready to go to work, making blades or whatever your High Carbon steel need is. All pieces arrived straight and rust free

A must have for making your first grinder knives. Good quality steel, especially for this price. Very happy with this product!

Nice clean precut lengths Just right to make into a knife or a tool. 1095 is easy to. Work with... easy to harden and easy to temper. It makes fine knives that take a wicked edge . Good small parts for machines.... good tools... and treatment is snap. Im happy and this works well

What can you say about steel flat stock? They came in a four pack, exactly as described. No complaints.

As description says, these are flat stock, and the surfaces a pretty darn smooth. Edges are a little rough. Impressed they came in wax based wrap, and very light oil coating. zero corrosion or pitting,.
