I was gonna try this stuff out, and was looking for some feedback on it. its 1095 and 0-1, the cheaper stuff is 88 layers and is a basic twist pattern. Im interested in it because its reasonable and im able to heat-treat it myself. thanks any response will be great.

here is the link to UAI:

Aaron, I have used it on a couple knives and have found it to be rather usable, no voids or inclusions, in a very annealed state so its easy to grind and to finish and it etches up rather nicely...

I used the twist on the first linerlock i made and it turned out rather well IMO.

One thing i thought was neet on it was if you polished it after hardening and THEN put it through its temper cycle it gets a gold and bronze tone to it that absolutely vibrant! I was tempted to leave it like that but i had planned the rest of the knife for the standard etched look...

I would say the stuff is very usable for the price, I intend to use more as my designs see fit.
