An alloy of iron and carbon. High-carbon steel has a greater carbon content than standard carbon steel. High-carbon steel blades hold a very keen edge, but are prone to corrosion (rusting). Always keep knife blades clean and dry. You can also apply a light coating of honing oil to the blade for added protection.
