Australian Wrought Iron Bars & Rounds
Authentic Australian wrought iron bars salvaged from historic wagon wheels. Perfect for blacksmithing, knifemaking, and traditional ironwork projects. Each piece carries the distinctive grain structure and superior working properties that only genuine wrought iron can provide.
Why Choose Wrought Iron for Blacksmithing?
Unlike modern mild steel, authentic wrought iron contains silicate inclusions that create exceptional forge-weldability and develop beautiful natural patina over time. Ideal for san mai construction, knife fittings, and decorative ironwork.
Perfect Applications:
- San mai blade construction and pattern welding
- Knife guards, bolsters, and fittings
- Traditional blacksmithing and restoration projects
- Decorative ironwork with authentic character
Key Features:

Note: Salvaged materials may show authentic weathering and character marks. Sizes vary based on current stock.
