Foil wrapped carbon steel gamma sterilized -- Blades are packed 100 in a box, and cases contain 10 boxes. The difference between the composition of carbon steel and stainless steel is that carbon steel is an alloy of about 99.5% iron, 5% carbon - so almost pure iron, but stainless steel is about 2 parts iron for 1 part chromium. Carbon steel is generally harder and stronger but less corrosion-resistant. $15.20 for just one box of 100 also available by clicking here. This fits #3 handle. Other sizes available: 11, 12, 15 (these fit size 3 handles), 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 (size 4).
