PROFESSIONAL KITCHEN KNIVES WITH CARBON BLADE

For several generations, all Sabatier kitchen knives have been manufactured and forged in carbon steel by specialized workers. At present, Sabatier still manufactures carbon steel knives which are intended for connoisseurs or lovers of the cut of a carbon knife.

Our grandmothers always had black-bladed knives in their kitchens. They were carbon steel knives.

Carbon steel is a very traditional steel. As it is forged and the material hits the blade, the grain of carbon steel becomes smaller and smaller. This is what allows it to have a very strong cutting power if the various manufacturing steps are carried out correctly.

The maintenance of a carbon steel sabatier knife is also facilitated given the fineness of the grains. A professional sharpening steel makes it possible to maintain the wire without any problem and very easily.

DIFFERENCE WITH A STAINLESS STEEL BLADE

There are big differences between a knife made of stainless steel and carbon steel.
