>>2383560>So your carbon steels hold an edge longer than your stainless?Generally, yes. I'm mostly talking about knives in the $15-$40 price range, as I've had higher end stainless knives have edges that last longer than my carbon blades. It mainly depends on the hardness of the steel, although edge retention is a little more complicated than just that
>>2383592Interesting view. Most of the carbon blades I've come across are much softer than that, and are generally easier to sharpen than my stainless blades. I've had about 4 knives in carbon so far and the hardest out of them is my higo (60-61 HRC)
