Common Materials for Kitchen Knife Blades

There are many variations when it comes to exact types of metal used for knife blades, but here are three of the main classes.

Carbon Steel Kitchen Knife Set

Most knives have at least some element of carbon in them, but carbon steel knives have extra carbon. This makes them stronger and sharper.

However, carbon knives are more susceptible to corrosion and rust.

High Carbon Steel Kitchen Knife Set

Everything that is true for ordinary carbon steel knives is extra true for high-carbon steel knife blades, because they tend to have almost double the amount of carbon content.

High-carbon steel is ideal for knives that require a lot of strength – something that needs to cut through tough pieces of meat, for instance. It can also be sharpened a lot more than many other materials.

Stainless Steel Kitchen Knives Set

Stainless steel is a very common material for everyday kitchen knives, especially when it comes to general cooking. This is because it’s less corrosive, which is ideal for knives that are used a lot and go through a lot of washing and drying.
