And that s just a few types of raw materials to help you on your way.
However proper heat treating must be.

M2 is a tool steel that is excellent at retaining a knife edge but it can be too brittle for some applications.
We have blade steels for knife making such as high carbon 1095 1075 1084 5160 and 15n20.
Carbon steel makes up our other main category.
Low carbon steel also known as mild steel medium carbon steel and high carbon steel.
High speed steel exhibits excellent wear resistance and toughness and is used.
Most of the blades in our catalog are forged from high carbon stainless steel and ensure durability on top of great style.
As the name implies it is mostly alloyed with carbon.
There are different ranges of carbon steel from low carbon mild steel to ultra high carbon.
Spring steel provides excellent wear resistance and high fatigue life combined with low corrosion risk.
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.

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.
See our s7 punch stock and 4140 hammer head blanks.
High carbon blade steel is considered better than other steels for knife making due to its toughness strength edge holding and corrosion resistant properties.
Our 1095 is cold rolled and annealed with bright finish.
This material is most commonly used for forging various blades.
We carry the understated to the exotic.
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.
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 soft forging 1018 cold rolled bar stock in square and round.
