Steel in the range 1045 1095 are used for knife blades although 1050 is more commonly seen in swords.
1095 high carbon steel.
We have blade steels for knife making such as high carbon 1095 1075 1084 5160 and 15n20.
It is harder but more brittle than lower carbon steels such as 1055 1060 1070 and 1080.
They also contain 0 4 of silicon and 1 2 of manganese.
It offers the highest carbon content and yields the sharpest edge but it can also be fragile if not crafted by a master swordmaker.
It contains a carbon content of 95 which helps to harden the steel and reduce the amount of wear and tear that a blade may experience over time.
1045 steel has less carbon 45 where 1095 has more 95 inversely 1095 has less manganese and 1045 has more.
And that s just a few types of raw materials to help you on your way.

Sae aisi 1095 steel is one of the most widely used 10 series steels with good performance and low cost with appropriate toughness and wear resistance but poor corrosion resistance.
It has a carbon content of 95 which serves to harden the steel and reduce the amount of wear that a blade will experience over time.
Despite the reduction in wear created by the high presence of carbon 1095 steel is not as tough as other types of steel due to the lower levels of manganese which serves to harden the steel.
