San Mai bar stock w/Hitachi Blue Paper 2 Steel core- 3 layer knife making billet
3 layer Japanese San Mai blade steel
Core layer is Hitachi Blue Paper No 2 high carbon steel
Low carbon steel outer layers.
Size: 13.75 inches long x 1.3 inches tall x .137 inches thick
Price is for 1 bar of steel.
Working: can be ground as is or forged.
Heat Treat: instructions for HT will be included with each bar. It is a fairly simple oil quenching HT process.
This is some of the finest Japanese blade steel similar to sword steel and makes great kitchen knives, hunting knives etc.
White paper steel is extremely fine grain takes a razor edge and makes great kitchen knives. The bars with Blue Paper Steel cores are tougher and better suited for more hard use applications.
**Listing is for San Mai steel bar and not a finished blade blank**
I received the hitachi steel bars on 2 separate occasions. The shipping was less than Jantz. They provide you with forging information also. I can’t wait for them to get more Hitachi in stock.
