FAQs
1. What is the main advantage of carbon steel knives compared to stainless steel knives?
Sharpness and cutting performance: Carbon steel knives are known for their exceptional sharpness. They can be sharpened more easily and finely than stainless steel knives, thus offering superior cutting performance. Chefs and home cooks alike value this sharpness, especially for precise cuts.
2. What do I do if my knife becomes blunt?
