1080 is a "simple" high carbon steel, one of our favorites due to its ease of use and high-performance. We use 1080 in our Damascus-steel as the dark layers in the pattern. Due to its forgiving nature, 1080 is a favorite for beginner knifemakers and bladesmiths; however, it offers a performance level high enough that it is still commonly used by master smiths.
The carbon content of steel is 0.8%, right in the sweet spot for many different applications. It has quite a generous window of forgeable temperatures; it doesn't mind going up to a high yellow while being welded together and doesn't stress fracture easily in the 1500°F (816°C) degree range.
Heat Treating
- Heat to 1500°F (816°C), just above the critical temperature and quench in warm oil. Temper twice, in 2 hour-long cycles, let cool to room temperature between cycles. Use 400°F (204°C) for high hardness, or 425°F (218°C) for high toughness/ flexibility.
