RE: Knives (handmade) 101 #5 If I Spend a Few 100 $ On a Knife Will It Be Sharp Forever
Goodmorning sir.. Thanks for this wonderful and educative piece.. You have well stated that expensive knive can not stay sharp forever. But my question is, does a knive get rusted, and if it does, can rusting cause an expensive knive not to stay sharp easily?
Good morning to you too. Thank you for your kind words and support - much appreciated.
As for expensive knives and rusting - if it's a high carbon steel, yes it will rust if you don't take care of it. And yes, a rust will do no good for the sharpness. But, a bit of rust is not the end of the world and it can easily be mended.
I will soon make a post about maintenance and I'll cover the rust problem in it. Until then check out my first post 1. Handmade Knives (custom) 101 #1 – Are You Bipolar?
where I do talk about rust a bit.
