Okay, long story short, I needed steel in a pinch, Aldo is out of 1084 dimensions that I need (and has been for weeks)
(.187"x 2" bar stock)
So I foolishly purchased 1095. I bought 3 sticks of it in .187" x 2" x 48". The tube is not even opened yet. I was headed to the shop today to start working with it and as I did some checking on a question or two I had, I fell into the labyrinth of 1095 info that we all know too well. The result: I'm either going to have to send my 1095 off to heat treat, or attempt to sell what I've got and find something else.
Ol' Socrates said it best "All I know is that I know nothing." and that seems to ring truer for me as time goes on and wisdom creeps in.
Thanks for listening to my little breakdown of sorts. Finally on to the point: I guess I'll be giving some business to a heat treating service as I don't have the proper equipment for a steel that's obviously so demanding and I'm not willing to put out anything less than my best.
Thanks to all.
