Tinted rows are where these two differ.

The steel difference

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.

Sandvik 12C27

Morakniv and Opinel's steel. Modest edge retention, excellent toughness and grain, sharpens on anything including a river rock.
