Steel 1095 is a high carbon steel known for its exceptional hardness, edge retention, and wear resistance. With nearly 1% carbon content, it is a popular material for cutting tools, springs, blades, and high-performance industrial components.
1095 is ideally suited for parts that require sharp edges, high strength, and minimal deformation. Although it offers limited weldability and moderate machinability in hardened condition, it excels in applications where hardness and wear resistance are priorities.
This material is widely used in knife making, tool manufacturing, and spring production, especially where repeated mechanical stress and edge holding are critical.
Note: this material comes in a limited set of thicknesses
