His Divine Shadow posted:I really like the way some japanese knives look, with the dark finish on the blade and the bevel being shiny metal. But what is that dark finish? I assume it's just been forged, quenched, tempered and left like that. So some kinda mill scale finish? That's probably San Mai, a jacketing technique where the core is high-carbon steel and the body of the blade is stainless or iron. That way only the edge of the blade is hard brittle rust-able steel.
