High Carbon Steel

[jdnet]

Hey guys does anyone know where to buy some high carbon steel from (SAE 1095)?

Hi for what purpose.

High Carbon steel is in very good Hacksaw blades, lathe bits etc.... that is why they cut into mild steel.

Check with a few of these hard ware shops in Armour street. Interesting what you plan to do with such steel...

Called up a few places but didn't have much luck finding the right kind. Guess I should take a walk down armour street.

Thanks Sylvi, I'm ok for swords right now, but thanks mate. Out of curiosity, do you get your steel hard on your own or do you get help from others? Or do you need some additive to help it get hard now that you've advanced in years?

AS you have a Question and you like to have my comments and experience I will give below.This forum is not a forum to discus as it is meant for automobiles.I hope Moderator will not object to my comments.

I understand what you are targeting at Mine tell you the truth but not like when I was a teen yes tried all additive process it is really good. Very good all who reach sixty have to face this problem when I was in USA the lab I was did tests of all additives at that time they were in clinical tests stage. First they try with animal tests after that with humans.Must thank all old people like us for that wonderful product by Pfizer for worldly pleasures and Old people should worship Pfizer for coming forward with this product.
