Will it rust?

Maintenance · low

Stainless

The most forgiving of the three. It handles moisture best and needs the least attention day to day.

See stainless knives
Maintenance · medium

Semi-stainless

In between. A little sharper than stainless, and a little more care in return.

See semi-stainless knives
Maintenance · high

Carbon steel

Takes the finest edge and is easy to sharpen. In return it builds a patina over time, so wipe it dry right away.

See carbon steel knives
The full knife guide

Whatever the steel: wash the knife by hand and dry it right away.
