Hello, Aaron Kentros from Pine Island Florida here. Im looking for a supplier for 1075 steel. I see Admiral has it but it says 1075/1080. Does this mean the carbon is somewhere in the .75-.80 range? Long story short I'm looking to make myself a knife that I can put a hamon on and a supplier that I can get some from. Semper Fidelis

It means means it could be 1070, 1075, 1080, or maybe?

I get my 1075 from Aldo at the NJ Steel Baron. He also carries other good knife steels.
