Frequently Asked Questions
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?
Ceramic mini sharpeners and sharpening rods are ideal, but the old classics, like a porcelain plate or cup, will also do the trick. Run the knife along the steel several times at an angle of about 15–20 degrees to quickly straighten the blade.
