Spring steel provides excellent wear resistance and high fatigue life combined with low corrosion risk.
High carbon steel for sale near me.
We have blade steels for knife making such as high carbon 1095 1075 1084 5160 and 15n20.
High speed steel exhibits excellent wear resistance and toughness and is used.
See our s7 punch stock and 4140 hammer head blanks.
Carbon steel grades with high amounts of carbon are desirable for knife making because they will give the blade the hardness and strength needed to hold up against impact and wear.
And that s just a few types of raw materials to help you on your way.
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.

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.
Most of our inventory is mild steel or medium carbon steel though we do have some high carbon grades as well.
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.
High carbon blade steel is considered better than other steels for knife making due to its toughness strength edge holding and corrosion resistant properties.
M2 is a tool steel that is excellent at retaining a knife edge but it can be too brittle for some applications.
We have soft forging 1018 cold rolled bar stock in square and round.
