Material - Carbon Steel

Tougher than stainless steel, better edge retention, less brittle in extreme cold ? carbon steel in one of its many varieties is the classic blade material used for thousands of years. Its main drawback is that it discolors and rusts easily, making it demanding of time and effort to maintain its appearance and condition.
