High carbon steel blade - this is not stainless and recommended for those that are fans of high carbon steel blades
Carbon steel knives require a few extra steps to maintain your blade.
Carbon steel is particularly reactive to high acid products. Therefore, it is imperative that you rinse your blade and wipe it dry after cutting anything acidic, such as citrus, tomatoes, and onions. If not rinsed, the acid will begin to corrode the steel and damage your blade.
After washing and drying your knife, we recommend oiling it with a food safe, neutral oil, to protect your blade and encourage a slow and even patina. The oil will act as a barrier to help protect against future exposure to moisture and acids.
as a positive High carbon blades are easy to sharpen and have a keen edge
