How about the packaging?

was good not a mark or damage on any of the pieces

Is the steel plate received bent? Will it be ugly?

Not at all, the steel plates are very flat and clean. Each piece is wrapped individually and nicely packed together to protect during shipping.

is this annealed or not?

The 1095 high carbon steel works up good similar to the US rolled 1095. I have made three knives so far and enjoy working with it. It is thinner than the 1/8” inch I worked with before. Mine is not annealed. The steel is workable

are these 0.12 or 0.125"?

They are just under 1/8" thickness. I used in in damascus and it worked good.

Great Steel

Worked great for my needs! To me, it seemed sufficiently annealed, though reading reviews I may have just gotten lucky on that. Hardened good in warmed canola oil, and very easy to blue for rust prevention.All in all, great value, easy to shape, and great for entry in to knife making. Our business plans to continue buying these for the time being.

Not Annealed But Helpful seller

I'm sure this is fine steel but, as others have said, it's NOT annealed. If you send your blades out to be heat treated, and don't have the means to get this hot enough to anneal it, you will have problems.EDIT: The seller contacted me and offered a full refund, was very nice. I had already sent the steel back, but they were quick to reach out after my review, so I wanted to let everyone know. If you can anneal this, it was straight, clean steel.

Good steal but not annealed

You will have to anneal this steel before trying to cut it. It is super hard. I had to put it in the forge and heat it to a glowing orange and then let it cool down until cool to touch. It is now ready to be worked. It makes great knives and is easy to harden. 4 stars only because it does not come annealed.

Good steel. Not annealed.

Good 1095, don't try to do anything with it until you anneal it. Get it hot and bury in a metal bucket full of vermiculite (available in any garden center) overnight. Then you should easily be able to cut it with a hacksaw and file.
