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.

3. How do I properly care for my hand-forged knife?

Proper care and sharpening of your hand-forged knife are crucial to maintaining its sharpness and longevity. Here are some tips for optimal knife care:

Cleaning:

  • Wash the knife by hand after each use with warm water and a mild detergent. Dry it thoroughly immediately to prevent rust.
  • Avoid cleaning in the dishwasher as this may damage the blade.

Drying and oiling:

  • Dry the blade thoroughly immediately after cleaning to prevent water spots and rust.
  • Regularly apply a thin layer of food-safe oil (e.g. camellia oil or mineral oil) to the blade to protect it from moisture.

Storage:

  • Store the knife in a knife block, on a magnetic strip, or in a knife sheath to protect the blade and maintain its sharpness.
  • Avoid contact with other metal objects to prevent scratches and damage.
