Carbon steel is harder than stainless steel and will hold its edge longer before needing to be sharpened but it also requires some attention. The knife should always be kept dry, as carbon steel will rust when it remains wet. Also, carbon steel will naturally develop a lovely patina over time. Run a towel over the knife between uses and be sure to store in a dry place.

They alone perfectly master the four stages of production: the dosage of exclusively natural materials, precious woods, herbs, plants, vegetable resins, and perfume; the kneading of the dough, pressed and worked for a long time, then left to stand for two weeks to soak up the fragrance; the cutting of the dough, rolled into long, narrow ribbons, to the desired size; then drying in the west wind for three days before bundling the sticks.
