Stainless steel is an alloy which contains 10.5% or more of chromium (Cr) and iron (Fe) in excess of 50%. Chromium is the element which makes stainless steel so resistant to stains. In fact stainless steel should be called stain resistant, as it can stain but is less likely to do so than pure steel. Stainless steel is also very easy to care for and doesn’t require regular maintenance to keep its beauty. Stainless steel is also very soft but it holds a blade edge very well.
High carbon steel is has a better edge, when sharpened properly and regularly, and is a much harder material for using in knife construction. Carbon steel knives will corrode more easily and need to be oiled on a regular basis. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for sharpening and seasoning to extend the life of a carbon steel knife.
When you combine carbon steel and stainless steel to get high carbon stainless steel you get the best of each alloy. High carbon stainless steel is resistant to rust or staining, it’s very hard, and holds an edge with minimal maintenance. High carbon stainless steel is generally thought of as a higher quality stainless steel alloy.
Briefly speaking high carbon steel is a kind of steel that has more than 0.3 percent carbon and it is harder and less formable and machinable than low-carbon steels.The
high carbon steel is ,ainly used for cutting Edges,compression springs,farming and gardening equipment,and some other high-wear applications.
