What does uncoated carbon steel mean

Has no Zinc coating like Galvanized Steel. Great product. Don't worry. Buy it.

I think it means it's not coated with olive oil or cooking oil. That's how you have to treat it once you've first washed it.

It's plain raw carbon steel. You'll need to season it before you use it. Season it just like a cast iron frying pan.

Carbon steel can rust, esp. the edge. Clean and dry after use and protect blade with Sentry Tuff cloth or any good rust protectant you like.

I don't know about carbon Steel but it's really very good quality metal. i test it with my airsoft gun ( apx 400 FPS ) and mask was as new :) :) :) if know what i mean :)

Sorry it took so long for me to answer. No, it does not say that on the label. This product is great for NOT stabbing yourself with tiny wires! It is finger friendly and looks very nice too. I'll never go back to uncoated wire.

High carbon steel with a Rockwell hardness of 57/59, hope it helps. Chef Ryan

The composite means it has two different steels made into it. It is a hard carbon steel on the blade and a softer steel spine so it wont snap or be brittle. it also appears to have a super thin coppery looking metal between the two. i love mine the one downside I've found is that the tip is thin and it has a habit of nose-diving if dropped and i broke the tip off of mine. but the steel holds a great edge and the spring assist is great really fast opening. ohk i looked it up the spine is 14c28n steel and the cutting edge is a harder tool steel CPM-D2 is the blade steel.

the steel used for this knife is very corrosion resistant so I dont think the coating is necessary. it really just comes down to cosmetics. also, I have read that if using the knife for food prep, you should stay away from the coating. the coated knives I have are carbon steel where the coating is beneficial but since I take pretty good care of my steel, it probably doesnt matter anyway. I like the looks of this knife without the coating.

it is "folded steel" not "carbon steel". this sword has alternating layers of varying carbon content. so it is hard to give it a rating like 1040 or 1060. I had one of these swords and it was hard harder to scratch then my 1060. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_swordsmithing vs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bessemer_process

Honestly, I don't know to what it means. I didn't realize it was coated with anything. Perhaps there is a light varnish or sealer to protect the wood. I hadn't noticed anything. All I know is that I like the product and it serves its purpose. Hope this is helpful.

It is steel but seems to have a coating on it that makes it really nonstick.

It is made in Taiwan and steel is good but left lower carbon for toughness...cannot recall spec offhand but 1085 seems right...edit, just checked and spec SAE 1070...which means it meets spec or they would use a funky new number as Chinese do for steels

I am certainly no metallurgist, But this blade is listed as a 4116 "Stainless Steel". So to my knowledge, all Stainless Steel is made up of some type of Carbon and Chromium to prevent metal from getting corroded. Now the exact amounts of Carbon or type, I am not sure of. Lets do a Wiki on this... "4116 Stainless Steel: A fine grained, stainless steel produced by Germany's ThyssenKrupp. Often used for medical devices and food processing, the steels Carbon and Chromium content give it a great degree of corrosion resistance, as well as strength and edge retention. 4116 Stainless Steel has a Carbon Content between 0.42-0.55 and it's Chromium content is between 13.8-15." Hope that helps

A carbon steel that is known for its toughness. When tempered right can take a lot of abuse. Cold Steel uses it in their GI tanto. Doesn't hold a edge as well as say 1095.

Its probably a cold galvanized carbon steel, with paint coating.....quality anchor.

I believe all steel has carbon. This is German 4116 stainless--"Krupp". Stainless is not 100% stainless. Proper care is the best thing you can do to keep your knife in good shape, This knife should be used for what it was made for. I love mine and treat it appropriatly.

Aluminized steel is a steel that has been coated with an aluminum-silicon alloy, creating a bond that withstands heat and resists corrosion.
