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.

I did use for another project, it is a hard piece of steel. I did drill it and use a hacksaw to cut it. Harder than regular steel. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/48942252-1095-steel-barstock-for-forging-and-knife-making-1-8](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/48942252-1095-steel-barstock-for-forging-and-knife-making-1-8) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
