SK5 is a Japanese high-carbon tool steel with a higher carbon content (approx. 0.80%) than C60. As a result, it delivers very high hardness, excellent edge retention and superior wear resistance. SK5 steel is ideal for knives and tools that undergo intensive use where durability and cutting performance are essential. Note: SK5 is not stainless. Contact with moisture may cause stains or light corrosion. Always clean and dry the blade after use and apply a light coat of oil. Dishwasher cleaning (not recommended) may cause harmless stains that do not affect cutting quality.
