Stainless steel is an alloy enriched with chromium and often nickel, making it resistant to rust and staining. A stainless-steel blade is easy to maintain, hygienic and well-suited for everyday use. While generally softer than high-carbon steel, it offers a good balance of sharpness, durability and ease of cleaning. Note: with a plastic handle, dishwasher cleaning is possible, though hand washing and drying are still recommended to preserve cutting performance. With a wooden handle, dishwasher use is not advised, as it may cause cracks or deformation of the wood.
C60 is a high-carbon steel containing about 0.60% carbon. This composition provides high hardness, excellent edge retention and a long-lasting sharp cutting edge. At the same time, C60 steel is relatively easy to resharpen, ensuring reliable performance over time. Please note: C60 is not stainless. Cleaning in a dishwasher (not recommended) may cause stains, which are harmless and do not affect cutting quality. For maximum durability, clean, dry and lightly oil the blade after use.
