Pro Tip: High-carbon steel achieves a razor-sharp edge that easily out-slices standard stainless steel models, but it requires a tiny bit of extra care to prevent rust. Avoid damp storage environments, always wipe the blade completely dry after each use, and occasionally apply a thin coat of food-safe mineral oil before returning it to its sheath. Over time, your N°08 will develop a beautiful, dark patina unique to your daily tasks!
