Hi everyone! Just wanted to get some opinions - what do you think is better between carbon knives and stainless steel ones?

Interesting discussion! Personally, I prefer stainless steel knives. They're more rust resistant and low-maintenance.

On the contrary, I feel like carbon knives hold their edge longer. I hate having to sharpen my knives every so often.

It might just depend on what you're comfortable with. I've grown up in a home where we always used carbon knives so that's what I'm used to.

Great points guys! So, you're saying it's more about personal preference than one being measurably better than the other?

More or less. Though, if you're particular about maintenance, you might lean towards stainless steel.
