Not anealed.

You will have to anneal this steel before trying to cut it. It is super hard. I had to put it in the forge and heat it to a glowing orange and then let it cool down until cool to touch. It is now ready to be worked. It makes great knives and is easy to harden. 4 stars only because it does not come annealed.

Packaged nicely, straight pieces of steel. I don’t think it’s 1095 though. I’ve tried just about every way I know of, using different temperatures but I just can’t get it to harden at all.

It is 1095 for sure. They say it is pre-annealed (normalized). I beg to differ. My files skid right off of these billets. If you want to be able to easily grind your bevels then you will have to re-anneal these yourself. Other than that, they are tough as nails and I am confident that my pieces made with these will be both hard and tough once hardened and tempered.
