RMP Knife Blade Steel - High Carbon, 1095 Knife Making Billets, 1.5 Inch x 12 Inch x 0.125 Inch

Worked great for my stock removal knife.Easy to file it before you heat treat it.It’s super hard after that.Will be buying from them again. 🔪

Got this bar stock a few days ago and made a knife from it with the stock removal method was worried about the metal being to hard to cut with my grinder but was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to work with had no problems with the drill press either my only complaint was how hard it was to harden the steel but that's probably the blow torch I was using it did harden good enough after a few tries but not as well as I would have liked still good strong steel would definitely recommend it

Not hardened, easy to saw and easy to file.Recommend.

As described

The antler and pewter handled knife pictured is the first knife I’ve ever forged. I found the metal easy to heat treat for a beginner. If u plan to store it be sure to oil the billet to prevent rust! Always good to work with known steel.I wish you all a lifetime of fun and learning.All my best,Ryan

As advertised

This steel skated a file out of the package, I read that the edges may be hard due to plasma cutting so i put it in the press and tested a few areas. it wasnt just the edges that were hard. if you do not have a solid annealing set up, i would bypass this steel until the manufacturer gets their annealing process fixed.

These are good Phillips for making blades they hardened well and are easy to work before hardening
