Carbon steel. Carbon steel is harder than stainless steel and maintains its sharpness a little longer. However, it requires a bit of love and care, as it tends to oxidize if not properly maintained. It is also natural for carbon steel to develop a patina over time.

A carbon steel blade offers higher sharpness, easier sharpening, but requires more care than stainless steel. The scissors need to be regularly oiled, preferably before first use. Keep the carbon steel blade clean and dry after use. After cleaning, apply a thin layer of oil - preferably camellia oil, but almost any household lubricant, such as WD-40, will suffice. This oil layer protects the blade from moisture and corrosion.
