1095 High Carbon Steel
Despite the reduction in wear created by the high presence of carbon 1095 steel is not as tough as other types of steel due to the lower levels of manganese which serves to harden the steel.
1095 high carbon steel. It has a carbon content of 95 which serves to harden the steel and reduce the amount of wear that a blade will experience over time. It is harder but more brittle than lower carbon steels such as 1055 1060 1070 and 1080. They also contain 0 4 of silicon and 1 2 of manganese. Steel in the range 1045 1095 are used for knife blades although 1050 is more commonly seen in swords.
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.
