What is ST.3? I did some googling but wasn’t sure—is it a mild steel?

This blade looks amazing, along with the handle and choices of material. I am still always learning, so what real world uses would this be best for? Also, what does the use of mild steel signify? Your friend did excellent work on the San Mai...Thanks.

Thank you! I don't think it has a specific purpose. Mild steel is used in the laminate to have a different colour when etched than the 52100 in the center. Overall it's more of the look of the blade
