Customer Review: Carbon steel knives have the edge!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a collection of Sabatier Au Carbone knives, all at least 30 years old; few days go by when I don't use the at least the paring knife. They do rust, they do stain, they can leave dark residue on very acid foods, and they can't go in the dishwasher. But in my humble opinion, there is no knife which will cut like a carbon steel knife. A stainless steel knife will solve all the above problems, but will never have the sharp edge of the properly sharpened carbon steel knife. A couple of passes over a sharpening steel will restore that edge on a carbon steel knife, but, again, in my opinion, a stainless steel knife, takes a lot of work to sharpen and will never be as sharp as a carbon steel blade. So if you want a pretty, easy to care for knife, buy a stainless steel. If cutting with ease with a razor sharp blade is more important, get carbon steel. The Sabatiers will last a lifetime if cared for properly.
Description of Sabatier Au Carbone 6-Inch Carbon Steel Chef's Knife
An excellent knife maker, Sabatier is one of the few companies left that still make a line of pure carbon steel blades--they take a sharp edge better than any other material. For many chefs, this sharp edge more than makes up for minor discolorations that occur with age. This 6-inch chef's knife is extremely versatile: from chopping carrots to mincing onions, it can handle just about any job that comes its way. For large, tough vegetables like turnips, some cooks may find this knife a bit too lightweight, but it has excellent balance and an extremely comfortable handle that makes it a sure winner with medium to small chopping jobs. When you take it to get sharpened, verify the sharpener knows how to handle carbon steel--it's a bit different than regular stainless, and you'll want to take full advantage of its special sharpening properties. --Jill LightnerChef's Knives
