Here, surrounded by a hard shell made of 1095 carbon steel a core of softer, low carbon steel. Like its historic predecessor also connects this Tanto grace and benefits in a unique way. The hardening is differentiated to about 60 ° Rockwell to the edge and about 40 ° Rockwell at the back of the blade. Visible is the hardness difference in a genuine, finely worked out hamon line.
