I spend most of my working and playing life near the sea so was wondering what knife was best for me carbon steel or stainless any help greatly received
Stainless harder to sharpen, don't throw sparks but carbon will rust easy. I keep stainless only for foods prep. Carbon lightly oiled shouldn't rust with the salt air etc
What don't they throw sparks off? They throw sparks off ferrocium rods no bother at all and anyone using a knife on proper flint needs a good slap across the back of the lug.
