CNC Laser cut blank, no edge, allows you to grind your own edge
Description
This blank is laser cut out of 1095 cold roll steel in an annealed state, meaning that it has a softened temper, is not hardened, and can easily have an edge ground into it. Our blanks have no edge of them after we laser cut them and still need to be hardened in order for it to be a knife ready for a handle. This is a knife maker's blank. We provide you with a laser cut profile, saving you time grinding out the knife shape, but it still allows you to put your own edge on and harden it to your satisfaction.6. 1095 Steel barstock for forging and knife making 1/8" x 1-1/2" x 12" knife blade steel USA Made

Description
1095 forging steel is an ideal steel for knife making as well as many other metal smith type hobbies. 195 steel is a high carbon steel that is very easy to shape through a process called forging. This steel lacks some of the manganese of other steels and as such has a lower harden-ability. The added carbon creates a carbon rich martensite with plenty of free carbon for good abrasion resistance. This steel required more care in the heat treatment process. Also, avoid lamellar annealing and overheating with this steel. Recommended working sequence for 1095: Forging: Heat to 2100 degrees Fahrenheit / 1150 Celsius. Do not forge below 1500 degrees Fahrenheit / 815 degrees Celsius. Normalizing - Heat to 1575 Celsius & then cool in still air. Annealing - heat to 1475 degrees Fahrenheit & furnace cool to 1200 degrees Fahrenheit at a rate not exceeding 50 degrees Fahrenheit per hour. Grinding Or Machining: Hardening - Austenitize heat to 1475 degrees Fahrenheit.7. RMP Knife Blade Steel - High Carbon Annealed, 1095 Knife Making Billets, 2" x 12" x .187", 1 per Pack
