Product Description

The steel 1080 is a forging steel with a moderate carbon content that is used to make In the annealed condition, this oil quenching steel has undergone a tempering process.

0 grams of iron is contained in iron alloy. It is made up of 88% carbon and 0% nitrogen. The manganese content is 90%, the iron content is 0%. We have a 0.05 percent sulfate content, and a 0.01% nitrate content. The element has a phosphorus content of 04%.

1/8" x 1-1/2" x 12" are the dimensions.

Use 1080 steel forging and 15N20 for etching. Forged steels keep an edge better than stainless steels, but are also more prone to rust. One way to ensure an edge stays sharp is with 1080 Steel and 15N20 Heat Treatment.

Questions & Answers

What do you think this comes in? I assume it comes in a hand built box overnight, but is that the shipping price? Certainly it isn't How much is a flat rate envelope of 65 cents?

We are providing priority mail shipping at the listed price. In order to avoid weight issues and damage to products, steel is not shipped in flat rate envelopes.

It would be useful for cutting blades for a leaf shredder if I used this steel What kind of heat-treatment service is there available that I can use that can handle the machined blades?

Instead of using 1080, we suggest using a tool steel like D2. For air quenched steels like D2 at our shop, we provide a heat treatment. However, for oil quenched steels like 1080, we do not provide a heat treatment. When it comes to oil quenching, Phenix Knives does a great job.

When I first started making knives, I used a hacksaw blade. Can this be cut with a hack saw blade?

The hack saw is used every time I don't have the hack saw

Knives made of my favorite material are my favorite

5/5

Steel stocks are my favorite, and they've been out for a while so hopefully they come back with more products. A little bit wider than some of my other bar stock I've bought, and the 1080 appears to be more forgiving than 1095, which I have previously used, so the 1080 might come out of heat better than 1095. I'm feeling a lot better now that I'm being treated more effectively.

Carbon steel of the highest quality

5/5

The steel I purchased was made by my brother and was used to make a Kukri knife that I used to chop plants and bramble down in my backyard. It took him about six hours to forge and harden and it is a good knife. The seller is definitely trustworthy.

The steel is great! I bought these two knives from Texas knife supply

5/5

Both are made with 1080 steel. Heat treatment is very easy to do with this steel. In terms of steel dimensions, they agree with Texas's description. It was delivered within a short amount of time. Knives that are made to last.
