Description:

O1 is a classic oil-hardening tool steel that is popular among knifemakers due to its combination of wear resistance, good edge stability, and relatively simple heat treatment.

The steel is supplied precision-ground with flat and even surfaces. This reduces the need for surface grinding and saves a lot of time during processing. This makes the material particularly well-suited for stock removal, where the knife blade is sawn or ground directly out of the steel plate.

O1 can be used for everything from smaller utility knives and kitchen knives to hunting knives, wood carving tools, and other products that require a hard and durable edge. The many available dimensions make it easy to find the right thickness and width for your project.

With proper hardening and tempering, you get a knife blade that retains its sharpness well while being relatively easy to resharpen. Like other carbon steels, O1 must be wiped dry and maintained after use to reduce the risk of rust.
