.060" x 2.0" Carbon Steel Rectangle Bar 1095Part #: mp-00001266
- One of the best ways to make excellent knives is to use repeatable and reliable processes and materials.
- 1095 does not meet this criteria.
- The problem is the specifications are too loose.
This is the standard specification for 1095: Carbon: 0.950 - 1.050 Chromium: 0.000 - 0.400 Manganese: 0.300 - 0.600 Molybdenum: 0.000 - 0.100 Nickel: 0.000 - 0.400 Phosphorus: 0.000 - 0.025 Silicon: 0.150 - 0.350 Sulfur: 0.000 - 0.025
There are five elements where the acceptable percentage ranges from 0.000% to a maximum of .400%. This is a ridiculous amount of variation. Loose tolerances is the primary reason why we previously chose not to stock 1095 for years.
To get around the problem of loose tolerances we purchased several thousand pounds of 1095 from the same melt. This means you
Non-returnable
