Great for knives
What can I say… it’s 5160 and works and acts just like 5160. If you want to practice making knives and want a known reliable and cheap steel you can’t go wrong. Super easy to forge since it comes in a nice thickness and width and each bar goes a long way.

Good steel, but not cut to length listed
The steel itself looks good, hot rolled, price is good, but length is off and I see no way to contact the seller without leaving a review.The dimensions are specifically listed as 1 1/4” wide - correct. 1/4” thick - correct.Length is listed as 12” but all four were under that. The longest piece was under by 3/16”. The shortest piece was just barely over 11 1/2” - *note the pictures* - which might not sound like much, considering these were cut with a bandsaw, but I don’t think it’s fair for the customer to have to get undercut pieces because they weren’t properly measured to begin with. When using a bandsaw, if anything, you cut slightly over your specifications for that very reason - you lose about 1/8” to the cut. Instead, they passed the savings (or lack thereof) on to the customer.These are specifically to be made into throwing knives. What I’m making requires specifically 12” of length. Not 11 5/8” or 11 3/4”.It’s not quite something I’d go to the trouble of repacking and returning them over, but it definitely is an inconvenience for me and gives me absolutely no wiggle room whatsoever.I don’t like leaving negative reviews because everything else is good, but the measurements are all under the listed length of 12” so I feel a bit gypped.
