1080 or 1084 definitely, not 1095. 1095 is great steel but you should have a fast oil for it and you probably don't. 1080 and 1084 are very forgiving steels and easy to heat treat, done correctly they make excellent blades. See the Stickies at the top of the forum for a list of suppliers that should have these steels ...
