Review: Definitely not annealed as I understand it... *Read Update* Great stuff.... - Don't normally write reviews but I thought I'd give anyone else a 'heads up'. I'm an long time woodworker that thought I'd really like to make a knife. Did my research and found 1095 to be a good starter steel. Purchased this and it arrived quickly and in great condition. I was very excited up until the point that I attempted to start my stock removal. I can't dent this stuff with anything. Blades, bits, files, and p36 ceramic belt all were rendered useless to this diamond like material. I was understanding that 'annealed' meant I would be able to work with it. I will continue to research this and understand that 'I' may be the problem, but this stuff is hard. UPDATE: So... I'm revising my review because as I mentioned initially there was a possibility that 'I' may be the problem. Turns out, I was the problem. I have a lot of woodworking tools, and while I switched bits, and blades over to the 'metal' versions, they still were not adequate to do the job. After more research, I did my stock removal with an angle grinder and was able to remove stock, and finish profiling with the belt sander and files. It's actually been a pleasure to work with and I could not be happier with this purchase for my first knife. I will definitely purchase from this supplier in the future.
Review: Seems fine - I was able to cut it by using Lenox 18tpi bimetal hacksaw blade but I did start the cut with Dremel cut off wheel to go over first 1/8" in case it was hardened by factory cutting. My Diablo 1x30 belts were quickly worn out by this steel when grinding edges so not sure if properly annealed or not. I did not see the same issue with some other 1095 steel I used before but that one was 1/8" thick. Sparks from Dremel looked like high carbon steel. Steel was flat and no rust, nicely packed. I like it so far.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not annealed but perfect in every other way.
*by M***Y on April 21, 2019*

Great piece of steel. Did not find any imperfections other than the description states that it is annealed which I found to not be true. I didn’t mind though since I have a gas forge I was able to bring it down a grade or 2. I used this billet to make my very first knife and it’s turning out way better than I had imagined. Will most likely buy again.
