I don’t care about the tarnishing of the carbon steel, I just clean it and oil it at the end of a trip and put it back in my bag.

Yeah to be fair though svord has had a few issues with ht over the years so it is definately possible to get a lemon.

L6 is a good staple carbon steel that will take a killer edge but comparative to more complex steels is relatively soft. With good technique it should do an animal no problems though.

Nothing tells a story like good carbon steel though
