We recommend finishing at 1000 to 3000 grit for both sharpness, bite, and long edge retention. SLD is SEMI-STAINLESS, which means it resists rust well, but is not 100% stainless. Over time, the core steel will therefore darken slightly, creating a beautiful contrast between the core steel and the damascus cladding.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eImportant:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRemember that the edge is hard and thin.
