Looking for the owner of a particular HF knife which was sold at eatingtools. If you want to let go of this one, let's talk! Please PM.

This is my favourite handle from Joe, a piece of art

What is 1095 with a little Mn?
Click to expand...

The AISI specifications for 1095 are about 0.9-1% carbon and 0.3-0.5% manganese with some sulfur and phosphorus as basically contaminants from steel production.

I think what Joe/HF says on the website is merely explaining that 1095 is a simple carbon steel with basically just carbon and manganese. The exact composition can vary from source to source and batch to batch tho. Very similar to Shirogami 2 but can be slightly lower carbon, and Hitachi steel tends to be lower in contaminants like sulfur (hence being known to be relatively "clean" steel).
 
No way! You got it? One of the nicest blade from Joe. Congrats
