Frequently Asked Questions

How Do I Take Care of My Nacionale Bladeworks Knife?

Proper care is crucial for keeping your knife in top condition as it ensures your knife’s edge stays sharp and ready for the demands of a professional kitchen. 

Here are some essential maintenance tips:

1. Regular Stropping

Use a leather strop before or after each use to realign the edge and keep the blade sharp and accurate. 

Remember, this maintains the edge but does not sharpen it. What regular stropping does is help prolong the time allowed between full sharpenings.

1. Periodic Sharpening

No knife stays sharp forever without proper sharpening. When your blade begins to dull, use a whetstone to bring it back to its peak sharpness. 

For home cooks, sharpening every few months is usually enough. However, professional chefs who rely heavily on their knives may need to sharpen them every four to six weeks. 

At Nacionale Bladeworks, we also offer complimentary sharpening services so your blades stay in top condition.

1. Proper Cleaning

Always hand wash your knife with mild soap and warm water, and dry it immediately with a soft cloth. 

Doing so prevents water spots and rust, especially on high-carbon blades. 

Avoid throwing your knife in the dishwasher, soaking it, or using abrasive detergents. These can damage both the blade and handle, diminishing its performance over time.

1. Storage Tips

Safe storage is vital for preserving the sharpness and integrity of your blade. The best ways to store your knife would be in a knife block, on a magnetic strip, or in a protective sheath. 

Never leave it loose in a drawer where it could get chipped or dulled by contact with other utensils. Proper storage not only protects the blade but also keeps your workspace safe.

What Is the Difference Between Carbon vs. Stainless Knives?

The choice between carbon and stainless steel comes down to their performance characteristics and your maintenance preferences.

Carbon Steel Knives
Carbon steel knives are renowned for their unparalleled sharpness and ease of sharpening. They respond well to whetstones, allowing chefs to maintain a precise edge perfect for delicate work and ultra-fine cuts. 

The trade-off is maintenance: Carbon steel is reactive, meaning it can rust, discolor, or develop a patina over time, especially when exposed to moisture or acidic ingredients. 

To prevent rust, carbon steel knives must be dried immediately after washing and occasionally treated with a light coat of oil. Despite the higher maintenance, many professionals choose carbon steel for its unparalleled sharpness and ease of honing.

Stainless Steel Knives
Stainless steel knives offer a lower-maintenance alternative while still providing excellent edge retention and durability. 

The addition of chromium in the alloy makes these knives more resistant to rust and corrosion, making them better suited for high-humidity environments or chefs who want to minimize maintenance. 

Stainless steel is ideal for those who need a reliable, long-lasting blade that can withstand everyday use without needing constant attention.

While stainless steel knives tend to hold their edge longer, they can be more difficult to sharpen to the same fine edge as carbon steel. 

That said, advancements in stainless steel alloys, such as AUS10 and 440C, have narrowed the gap in sharpness between the two materials, making modern stainless knives a strong contender for professional kitchens.

Which to Choose?

The decision between carbon and stainless steel comes down to personal preference and the kitchen environment. 

If you prioritize sharpness and do not mind regular upkeep, carbon steel knives deliver unmatched performance for precision work. 

Meanwhile, if you prefer a knife that requires less maintenance but still performs reliably across a wide range of tasks, stainless steel is a durable, corrosion-resistant option.

We offer knives in both carbon and stainless steel, ensuring you have the right tool for the job, whether you are focused on maintaining an ultra-fine edge or seeking a balance between performance and ease of care. 

From knives and plating tools to sharpening solutions and accessories, our products help improve your craft, allowing you to work faster, smoother, and be more efficient in the kitchen.
