High-Carbon Care

This item is made from high-carbon steel. It offers excellent sharpness but can rust or develop a patina if not kept dry and properly maintained.

No
Optional Magnolia Saya Cover

Blade Hardness

HRC (Rockwell Hardness) measures how hard the blade's steel is tempered. A higher rating holds a fine edge through extended use, a hallmark of Japanese blade craftsmanship.

Stain Resistant

This steel is not stain resistant. High-carbon steel can rust or develop a patina if not kept dry and cared for, in exchange for the sharper edge it holds.

Saya Cover

This knife does not automatically come with a saya cover included. Adding one with your order lets us shape it to this exact blade, a fit no aftermarket cover can match. A saya purchased separately later is cut to standard dimensions rather than this specific blade, so the fit is left to chance.
