What is Carbon Steel?

Carbon steel is the steel that was used for your grandparent’s knives. It is the steel that most tools are made from. It is the steel that was first used as steel as opposed to iron in human history. When it comes to kitchen knives carbon steel blades can take on a sharper edge, and hold that edge longer, than most stainless steel blades. However they do require some minimal additional care. To keep your carbon steel knife in the best condition, clean the blade after each use with mild dish soap and water, and dry thoroughly. Over time, each carbon steel blade takes on its own unique patina, so your knife will age beautifully as you use it. If you prefer to slow or control your patina development, you can apply a thin layer of oil, such as food safe mineral oil or camellia oil.

What is Damascus Steel?

Damascus steel, also known as pattern welded steel, is created when two or more different steel alloys are forge welded together with heat and pressure resulting in a single material that, when acid etched, reveals a pattern throughout the steel of the knife. With Damascus steel the pattern options are virtually endless and the resulting blades are unique and incredibly special pieces.
