Carbon steel. Carbon steel is harder than stainless steel and maintains its sharpness slightly longer. However, it requires a little 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.

The carbon steel blade offers sharper edges, easier sharpening, but requires more care compared to stainless steel. The shears need to be regularly oiled, preferably before the 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 layer of oil protects the blade from moisture and corrosion.
