Sax making kit with high-carbon steel blade.
This kit for an Alemannic sax makes it easy to craft a unique sax to your own taste.The sax crafting kit includes a carbon steel sax blade, building instructions and various materials for the knife handle and leather for making a sax scabbard.
The Germanic sax blade is made of 1095 high carbon steel, a classic among knife steels. This steel is quite tough and grinds very well, with a solid service life. 1095 is an unalloyed and not rust-resistant tool steel.
With a hardness of 54 - 56 HRC Rockwell and a carbon content of 0.90 to 1.03 % with a manganese content of 0.3 to 0.5 % this sax blade s indeed hard to break down and a reliable "workhorse" - hard, flexible, unbreakable!
We recommend keeping the sax blade dry and treating it occasionally with a little oil to prevent possible flash rust.
