What kind of knife steel does the C-200 use?Updated 6 days ago
The C-200's blade is made from Japanese AUS-10 stainless steel in a three-layer "san mai" construction. In san mai steel, a hard core layer is clad with tough, corrosion-resistant outer steels. The steel is heat treated to 60-62 HRC inner-layer hardness for edge-holding and durability. The visible hamon line on the blade is a hallmark of the layered steel construction.
