What to look out for in a good Knife
Good quality modern knives are made from high carbon stainless steel. This combines the softness of carbon steel for ease of sharpening with the strength of stainless steel.
Old fashioned high-carbon steel blades tarnish easily but they sharpen to a better edgea nd the blade is also more flexible. Careful maintenance is required the blade must be wiped dry after use and needs to be washed after cutting acidic produce such as onions.
