However, it is not stainless, so the blade must be thoroughly dried after each use—especially the exposed core steel beyond the stainless cladding. Over time, a natural patina will form along the cutting edge, appearing as slight discoloration. This is a normal characteristic of carbon steel, not a flaw, and can even help protect the blade from rust.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThe stainless cladding, which covers much of the blade, reduces maintenance and it will still rust. So make sure to wipe it dry after use and apply a layer of oil ( our kurobara oil or any neutral oil ) at the end of the day before storing it. To maintain the blade’s edge and its lifespan, avoid chopping it on bones and frozen foods. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlease note that the edge may appear black due to the photography lighting, but it is not actually black.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Masaru Knives Malaysia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46951492321478,"sku":null,"price":1158.0,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/3114\/1318\/files\/IMG_7896.jpg?v=1787072896"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.masaruknives.com\/collections\/clever.oembed","provider":"Masaru Knives Malaysia ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
