<p>Found this beaut at a gun show. 4 1/2" closed No lock, the back spring is tempered in such a way that the blade is as hard to open as it is to close! File work from the tip of the back spring to the end of the thumb ramp.Box wood handles held down by three brass pins, brass threaded bolster and liners. Touch mark looks like a Lilly. Blade was tarnished black and 'brightened' by me.</p>

When you go in order from 1095-1050, you generally go from more carbon to less, from better edge holding to less edge holding, and tough to tougher to toughest. As such, you'll see 1060 and 1050, used often for swords. For knives, 1095 is sort of the "standard" carbon steel, not too expensive and performs well. It is reasonably tough and holds an edge very well. It rusts easily. This is a simple steel, which contains only two alloying elements: .95% carbon and .4% manganese. The various kabars are usually 1095 with a black coating."</p>

<p>Thank you Mr. Talmadge, for your contribution here. B.T.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I have an affinity for carbon steel and 1095 is my favorite for a couple of reasons.</p>
<p>1) it is easy to work with</p>
<p>2) it is cheap</p>
<p>I orders tons of 1095 for my production requirements yearly. So I occasionally request .125 x 4" x 12" samples from my vendor. This year it is from Wickeder Steel Company out of Pleasant Prairie, WI.</p>
<p>This time around my vendor sent me 2 pieces of steel. Lots of stuff can come of this. But I will save that for the Knife Making groups.</p>
<p>I want this discussion to be the gathering place of information for the 10-series carbon material. </p>
<ul>
<li>Tricks and experience working with the material</li>
<li>Heat treating & tempering experience</li>
<li>Forced patina</li>
<li>...etc...</li>
</ul>
<p>Any sourced information must recognize the origin of the information. It is the classy thing to do.</p>
<p>So download any information pertaining to these wildly popular steels.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance,</p>

<p>When I was a young lad dating my future wife, I remember when I used to go to her house for supper her father would use a carbon steel carving knife and fork with beautiful stag handles! The blade had a very dark patina on it. Many of his kitchen knives were carbon steel too. </p>

I would like to get a discussion going on Damascus Steel. There is alot of damascus out there containing all kinds of elements good and bad. Some end up as quality knife steel while others fall short of the mark. A knife containing carbon steel and nickle, I would consider it a carbon steel damascus. If we have members of this group [and I know we must] that have knowledge of damascus steel and its properties, please join in this discussion and help us learn more about it.
