At the price these Kurouchi finish knives are a must have workhorse for any kit, the blue #2 steel will take an amazing edge, while being slightly more durable and rust resistant than a White steel (but we still wouldn’t push our luck). This line of knives is definitely on the more rustic side. They don't have the greatest fit and finish and could benefit from a spine and choil polish after purchase. Great steel with a nice handle though! A great project knife in you're interested in learning how to sharpen and thin your blade without a lot to loose. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/hEZOgRuZ8VQ\" title=\"How to Maintain an Iron Clad Knife!\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKnife Care (Iron Clad)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis Knife is made from 3 layers of material; A layer of iron on each side protecting a layer of carbon steel at the core, in a process referred to as Sanmai or forge welding.
