Will carbon steel knives stick to a magnetic knife strip?
I want to purchase a set of knives made of carbon steel and want to be able to store them on a magnetic knife strip for handy access, I just wasn't sure if this alloy would stick to a magnet????
Thanks
Yes, carbon steels are magnetic. In fact, some stainless steel knives are magnetic as well. Some stainless steel alloys are naturally magnetic and some become magnetic when they are deformed by forging or rolling (check out a deep drawn SS sink and explore where it is magnetic and where it isn't). Depending on the details, some carbon steels can be made harder than the stainless steel typically used for knives (440 alloy) but the carbon steel knives are very much more likely to suffer corrosion.
hope this helps
