Where to find 1095????

[kevindriscoll]

I am trying desperately to find 1/4 x 3" x 12 to 18" 1095, and having trouble! I looked at Admiral but nothing less than 36 inches. I suppose that I might use the rest in the future, but that thickness is not something I would ordinarily use. Can someone help me???

I use 1095 as well, and I order it from Admiral steel. I order it 1.1/2X 48L and 125T to 250T. and cut it down to what I need. That all you need to do. You can order it and do the same. Tim there will work with you on that. Have a great day and God bless.

I also order from Admiral. The last two orders I placed I've been getting the stock hot rolled, pickled and oiled annealed. Seems way easier to work, and pretty much no scale on it, but it's a lot more expensive. Not sure if I'll order it that way again, or not.
I just order 10' sections of whatever thickness I need and cut it down with a hacksaw... which is a completely ridiculous amount of work when you do 1/4" x 3" wide, but I need the cardio workout anyway, no?

I have 1/4" x 2.5" if you need some, I'd be happy to send it to you. Email me if you're interested.
