Great Eastern Northfield 818222 05 Coon Skinner Snakewood Slip Joint Knife

The 1095 Carbon Steel is a widely used material in the production and customization of knives. It is known for its simplicity and popularity among knife makers. This type of steel has a low carbide content, resulting in a blade that is easy to sharpen to a fine edge. However, it is important to note that 1095 Carbon Steel is not corrosion resistant and requires proper care to prevent rusting. Some knife makers employ a differential heat treat process, which enhances the performance of the knife by providing a harder edge and a tougher spine.
