And, 1" square is a lot more steel than 1" round...
Phillip, 1" Square and 1" round as far as I'm concerned is tomahawk material or for small axes. When I forge blades anymore I start with the smallest piece of material I know I can get that particular blade out of. Over the years I wasted 1000's of hammer blows on steel that was to darn large for what I was wanting to make. I could use some of those hammer blows now. One of the main reasons I don't do many hawks or axes now.
