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

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.

Could be 15 or 16 inches. Good material for forging knives.

great

The Steel is great. Just made my first knife and excited to use the other bars for more.

Nathan, the owner of this company is a class act and he knows his product inside and out. I would definitely recommend Patriot Steel as it is most certainly a superior product to Mr. Volcano steel.

Just as described

Perfect for making custom knives

Quality knife making steel. I will continue to do business with them.

Not as advertised at all. One partial flag stamp on the top billet only. Complete false advertising.

This steel worked great for making a chef’s knife would definitely recommend!
