The blade of the knife is crafted from D2 steel, which falls under the semi-stainless steel category due to its carbon content exceeding 0.5%. However, the addition of nickel and chromium significantly enhances its resistance to corrosion. Therefore, simply drying the blade after use is sufficient to ensure that the Firebird FH31 CF serves you for many years. The D2 steel has a hardness rating of 60 HRC, allowing the blade to maintain its sharpness over extended use. However, if you wish to sharpen the knife yourself, even in the field, a bit of practice may be necessary.
