Favorite steel for many knife makers and enthusiasts, our 1095 has earned a respected reputation as being excellent for forging, grinding, and taking a wonderful edge.
Overall, 1095 does prove to be a little more difficult to heat treat for some makers as it is hyper-eutectoid and best used with an accurate means of reading temperature and a fast quench oil.
Those that have mastered heat treating 1095, however, have produced some of the most beautiful Hamons.
