Carbon steel for the manufacture of straight razors, knife blades and hand tools.
135Cr3 is a low alloyed, high-carbon steel commonly used for the manufacture of rasps, files and, more broadly, all sharp tools requiring strength, reliability and hardness. Its very high carbon content (1.3%) allows it to reach high hardnesses, which are essential for this type of highly stressed tooling.
Carbon steel 135Cr3 is perfect for high hardness tools that don't need too much tenacity such as e. g. straight razors. Cutlers also appreciate it because it makes it possible to obtain very marked hardening lines (hamon).
For heat treatment, due to its very low Cr content, water or accelerated oil quenching is recommended.

Great steel, turned out a great Hamon on my projects, I hope there will be a thicker version at the same width and length some time though for projects like swords. Amazing quality at any rate.
