Jantz Brass Round Rod 1/16in x 12in JZAB101

The Jantz Brass Round Rod 1/16in x 12in is a premium material engineered for precision and versatility in knifemaking, metalcraft, and other detailed projects. Crafted from 360 alloy brass, this rod combines strength, malleability, and corrosion resistance, making it a reliable choice for both functional and decorative components. Its compact 1/16-inch diameter and generous 12-inch length provide ample material for a wide range of applications, whether you’re crafting pins, rivets, spacers, or intricate accents on custom knives. The rod’s uniform composition ensures consistent performance, allowing for smooth cutting, drilling, filing, and polishing without compromising structural integrity.

This brass rod is particularly valued by knifemakers and metalworkers for its machinability. Unlike harder metals, 360 alloy brass allows for precise shaping and finishing, making it ideal for projects that demand both accuracy and aesthetic appeal. The alloy, composed of approximately 70% copper and 30% zinc, balances durability with flexibility, allowing it to withstand repeated handling while maintaining its shape and finish. This makes it perfect for detailed work such as handle pins, guard elements, or decorative inlays that require a polished, professional look.

The rod’s corrosion-resistant properties further enhance its suitability for long-term use. While brass may naturally develop a patina over time, careful polishing or protective coatings can maintain its bright, attractive finish. This feature is especially beneficial for knife handles and hardware, where both appearance and longevity are critical. Its moderate density also provides added weight for balance when used in knife handles or other metal assemblies, contributing to overall functionality and feel.

Whether you’re a professional craftsman or an enthusiastic hobbyist, the Jantz Brass Round Rod 1/16in x 12in offers reliability, adaptability, and quality that meet the demands of detailed metalwork. Its combination of ease of use, consistent alloy composition, and aesthetic potential makes it a fundamental tool for anyone creating high-quality custom knives or decorative metal projects. From cutting and shaping to polishing and finishing, this rod delivers the performance needed for precise, durable results.
