Want to buy a knife, you can select the steel carbon steel and high carbon steel, do not know the knife performance between big two kinds of steel making, see carbon steel knife can also be cut iron said selling knives on the site, do not know is not a bit exaggerated, but the price is a lot cheaper in carbon steel. Please master pointing
High carbon steel, high carbon steel tool now is generally used for folded forging, is commonly known as the thousand volumes, features a neat pattern on the cutting edge, a medium carbon steel is generally ordinary forging, so high carbon steel not only high sharpness, toughness better than medium carbon steel impact.
Carbon steel finished steel, carbon containing higher hardness increases relatively more brittle, in the production of long knife, the hardness is not the only indicator, so we should consider various factors. The pattern is composed of steel with different carbon content of carbon steel (or different steel grades, but rare, is not easy to play) and co forging, but the shape of pattern steel on the market is far greater than the significance of practical significance, good-looking, but the performance is not necessarily improve.
The higher the carbon content, the higher the hardness and the worse the plasticity
It is important that the quenching, 45# steel after quenching can ensure the hardness of 60 steel in 45-50 degrees generally at about 50-70 of course do knife do not need such a high hardness hardness in 50-54 is enough, will be broken and fell in the mouth of the phenomenon, will come from the price in carbon and high the general price per kilogram of carbon materials is 4-7 dollars, a knife would spread but dozens around the block, the excess part is the artificial
In fact, medium carbon steel and high carbon steel basically is just a label different, as we did not say what the unit in high carbon carbon, but by the label as the standard, such as steel 20# to 45# even in carbon (also said 45# carbon) No. 60 above is of high carbon steel you said, online said steel knife can cut a little iron for my decision is not exaggerated, can cut down the iron in fact there are two you have to consider is the first opening ways such as knife cut iron (axe edge) are relatively sharp enough, sharp knife blade (usually this can be the opening way of reference) the butcher chop the bones and meat knife
