Hi all.
I was always curious about different core/clad combinations people are using in their San Mai creations. Specifically I wondered why are there not many stainless steel / high carbon combinations?
It seems to me only logical to make, say, 1095 or O1 HC core with marine grade 316 SS clad around it - this way it would give you one great hard edge combined with highly resistant jacket.
Is there a problem welding them together? Or is it simply not worth the trouble as HC SS like 440C is good enough in both departments (I personally don't believe so, or otherwise every razor would have been done of it instead the high carbons)?
