Carbon steel makes a harder and stronger cutting blade than stainless steel, it is also easier to sharpen. In return for its high performance, carbon steel will need a little bit of love and care, as it will tend to oxidise if not well maintained.

• To avoid rusting, we recommend that carbon steel blades are kept oiled.
• Do not soak in water and never place in the dishwasher.
• To clean your knife, wipe the blade with a damp cloth and dry immediately.
• To reduce the frequency of re-sharpening, we suggest using wooden chopping boards.
• If rust begins forming, use a scouring pad and an acid like vinegar and gently rub it on the affected area.
• After the rust is removed, dry the blade, re-sharpen and oil to prevent future rusting.
