Pro Tip & Carbon Steel Maintenance: High-carbon steel achieves an incredibly keen, razor-sharp edge that easily out-slices standard stainless steel models, making it the favourite of purists worldwide. Because these premium blades are susceptible to oxidation, they require a little love to keep their display-ready shine. Avoid damp environments, always wipe the blades completely dry after any handling, and apply a very thin coat of food-safe mineral oil before placing them back under the glass. Over time, any knives used in the field will develop a beautiful, deep patina that tells the story of your adventures!
