Low carbon steel also known as mild steel medium carbon steel and high carbon steel.
High carbon steel for sale near me.
Carbon steel makes up our other main category.
Select low steel and mild steel rectangular or square carbon steel bars in hot rolled and cold rolled tempers that are readily brazed or welded good for screw machining and that offer you excellent ductility.
And that s just a few types of raw materials to help you on your way.
Thus we offer a range of knife making supplies including knife making kits blade blanks and handle scales which are as good as any in the market.
We have soft forging 1018 cold rolled bar stock in square and round.
Carbon steel grades with high amounts of carbon are desirable for knife making because they will give the blade the hardness and strength needed to hold up against impact and wear.
As the name implies it is mostly alloyed with carbon.
Spring steel provides excellent wear resistance and high fatigue life combined with low corrosion risk.
M2 is a tool steel that is excellent at retaining a knife edge but it can be too brittle for some applications.
It contains a carbon content of 95 which helps to harden the steel and reduce the amount of wear and tear that a blade may experience over time.
We have blade steels for knife making such as high carbon 1095 1075 1084 5160 and 15n20.

Most of our inventory is mild steel or medium carbon steel though we do have some high carbon grades as well.
We carry the understated to the exotic.
Also get carbon steel flat stock from 1 32 to 1 4 thick in dry or oiled finishes ideal for your building jobs.
Typically carbon steel contains up to 2 0 carbon by weight along with a variety of other alloying elements such as manganese or silicon depending on the desired attributes and physical properties.
High carbon blade steel is considered better than other steels for knife making due to its toughness strength edge holding and corrosion resistant properties.
Most of the blades in our catalog are forged from high carbon stainless steel and ensure durability on top of great style.
Our 1095 is cold rolled and annealed with bright finish.
