Carbon Steel vs Stainless Steel: Performance & Durability
Carbon Steel: Extreme sharpness, ultra-fine edge, perfect for delicate craft tools, sculpting, and artistic precision. Requires careful storage to avoid rust.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between sterile and non-sterile Swann Morton blades?
Sterile blades are individually sealed in foil packs and sterilized, making them essential for any procedure involving skin contact (dermaplaning, callus removal, beauty treatments). Non-sterile blades are manufactured to the same high quality but are not sterilized, making them ideal for craft, model making, and general cutting tasks where skin contact is not involved.
Which is better: carbon steel or stainless steel?
Carbon steel offers unparalleled sharpness for fine detail work but requires careful handling to prevent rust. Stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance and durability, making it ideal for skincare and beauty applications where moisture is present. Both are exceptional quality — the choice depends on your specific use case.
