Boker C-75 patina?

[PhilKal]

I saw a boker slipjoint and it said it had C-75 steel. Does anyone know if this will patina or have any experience with the steel. Thanks

C-75 is a simple carbon steel with .75% Carbon. It makes a decent knife steel, and will definitely patina.

Spydieboi,

Be welcome. C75, european designation for 1075, will patina. It takes more than 10% of free chromium (not forming carbides) so that a steel is considered stainless and there's no chromium in C75.
It's a tough steel, easy to sharpen on any stone.
