Blades have a lapped face and are ground with a bevel that requires only final honing to 30° before use
O1 steel blades (hardened to Rc58-60) sharpen more easily than PM-V11 but dull more readily
PM-V11 tool steel (Rc61-63) has a fine, consistent grain structure that provides significantly greater resistance to damage from both impact and wear than O1 steel, yet the edge can be quickly restored using water stones or other common sharpening methods
