Ralph,
Yes, 1095 would be very good for Damascus.  It is a straight carbon steel.
It would be good to mix with other materials as the high carbon.  I have a
few sizes in flat, but if you have a Little Giant you can draw any of the
stock down for Damascus.
Rd.- 1/2,3/4,1,and 1 1/2.
Sq. - 7/8, 5/8, 3/4, and1 1/2.
Oct. - 3/8, 1/2, 5/8, 3/4, and 1 1/4.
Flat - 3/4x1/2, 7/8x1/2,5/8x1,5/8x1/2,1/2x1, 1 1/4x5/8, 1 1/2x 5/8, and 2x3/4.
