Forge Ready Billets (Square, Round and Rough)

DSC® Carbon & Stainless Damascus Steel – Forge-Ready Billets
 
Built for bladesmiths who want to do it themselves. These are raw, scaled billets. Thicker, heavier stock that hasn't been surface-ground or finished. You get more material to work with and full control over your own surface prep, grinding, and shaping. Not for makers who want to machine immediately, but for makers who want to forge.
 
Forge-Ready vs. Polished Billets: Which Do You Need?
Forge-Ready (this product): Raw, scaled surface. For bladesmiths who forge, grind, and clean their own billet from stock. More material, lower cost per inch.
Polished Cut-to-Size (sold separately): Precision flat-ground, soft-annealed, ready to machine or etch immediately. No cleanup required.
