1084 from Aldo??????

Does this stuff come annealed? I looked at Admiral but they do not have a very big selection of steel in the annealed state. I do not want to sit here with a "1 brick forge" trying to anneal 7" at a time.

I just got some and am very happy with what I got for the price I got it. Aldo is easy to work with.

I can't say for sure but you aren't likely to get mill run steel in a truely annealed state. That is not to say that is is hard. And in fact it is quite likely you can cut it with a metal cutting saw with no problem.

Better to check with Aldo.

I've been using Aldo's 1084 in damascus and have had no problems cutting it with my bandsaw.

Can it be cut to length and ground (stock removal) into a knife is what I am trying to find out. Or does it have to be softened with an oven? Thanks.....

Yes, it can be used as is. A PM to Aldo would be the best way to get info on his steels available.
