Tinted rows are where these two differ.

The steel difference

1075 Carbon

Lower carbon than 1095, so softer and even tougher. Common on machetes and budget bushcraft blades.

1095 Carbon

The American survival-knife standard. Dead simple, very tough at these hardnesses, and it will start rusting the day you put it away wet.
