## Description

Texas Knifemakers Supply - 1080 High Carbon Annealed Forging Steel Barstock for Knife Making - 1/8" x 1-1/4" x 12"

## Features

- 1080 is a moderately high carbon content forging steel used for making knives. This oil quenching steel is in the annealed state.
- Iron alloy contains 0.88% carbon, 0.90% manganese, 0.05% sulphur, and 0.04% phosphorus.
- Dimensions are 1/8" x 1-1/4" x 12".
- Layer 1080 with 15N20 to forge Damascus, and etch with Ferric Chloride to bring out the contrast. Higher carbon steels like 1080 will keep an edge much better than stainless steels, but are also more susceptible to rust without proper care.
