SK-85 / SK-5 Steel—Why It's the Professionals' Choice

SK-85 steel is a high-quality Japanese carbon steel used in the manufacture of a wide range of cutting tools. After quenching and tempering, it achieves high hardness and excellent wear resistance.

It is used in the manufacture of:

Barber Blades and Multi-Purpose Blades
Blades for scalpels and instruments with long cutting edges
Metal-Cutting Tools and Drilling Tools
Woodworking router bits, drill bits, axes, and chisels
Hand-held rip saws and auxiliary tools

Holding the Edge

SK-85 steel contains nearly 1% carbon, which makes it very hard and ensures impressive cutting edge retention. The blade retains its sharpness for a long time with regular use.

Corrosion Resistance

SK-85 offers decent corrosion resistance. Regular maintenance and cleaning after use are recommended to prevent rust in conditions of prolonged moisture.

Wear Resistance

Thanks to its fine grain and carbon carbides, the steel offers high wear resistance. The blade withstands heavy use without dulling quickly.

Sharpness and Sharpening

SK-85 can achieve a hardness of 62–63 HRC. The harder the steel, the more difficult it is to sharpen—sharpening requires the right tools and a little more effort.

Durability

SK-85 is a strong and durable steel with high impact resistance. It offers an excellent balance between hardness and flexibility, making it suitable for demanding operating conditions.
