It is not stainless, so it will patina with use and wants to be kept dry and waxed. The darkened stonewash finish adds some protection and hides the marks that come with using a knife, and the wax tin in the box is there for exactly that job.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePaper Micarta\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaper micarta is the finest grained micarta there is, which makes it the smoothest in hand and the one that shows the tightest layer lines when it is shaped. It also takes a patina from skin oils over the years, so a well carried paper micarta handle looks different from a new one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLeather Sheath\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis one carries in a leather sheath, which suits the quieter, more traditional look of a paper micarta handle on a carbon steel blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout Shady Grady EDC\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrady Jarman is a retired professional firefighter who makes knives and turns pens part time in Wilmington, North Carolina.

Sandvik 12C27 is a fine grained stainless that sharpens easily and holds up in wet conditions without the upkeep a carbon blade asks for.
