Stainless and carbon steel: who needs both types and why
This material does not address the question of which steel is "better". This is an outdated formulation, which is more than a dozen years old, and it is incorrect: for each case, the choice is different. Therefore, we will simply and unbiasedly consider the characteristics of both steels and their suitability for specific purposes.
Here we will use the single term "carbon steel" for medium and high carbon types. They differ from each other, but when compared with the so-called stainless steel, this difference is not important to us.
Simple and affordable about carbon and stainless steel
Let's start by clarifying that the established terminology does not accurately reflect the very essence of the confrontation: the name "carbon" refers to the composition of steel, and "stainless" refers to its ability to resist corrosion, that is, the concepts, in principle, are not very comparable.

What do we actually have?
- All steel contains some amount of carbon . Accordingly, carbon is to a greater extent, but this element is also present in the so-called stainless steel.
- Almost all steel rusts . Stainless - too (under very harsh conditions).
Why do these materials rust at different rates?
- The iron in carbon steel oxidizes rapidly when carbon comes into contact with oxygen in air or water.
- Stainless steel contains additives (chromium, molybdenum) that make it more resistant to oxidation and, accordingly, corrosion.
The ability or inability to resist corrosion (rust) is the main and fundamental difference between one steel and another. But there are others that are equally important to choose from.
Comparison of carbon steel with stainless
Ability to absorb odors
Carbon steel itself has a pleasant smell (especially clean and freshly ground), but it quickly absorbs foreign odors. If we plan a tree with a carbon knife, this is even great, but for cutting products it’s not very good: it will take a long time to wash the tool from the “aroma” of onions or smoked fish. With stainless steel, there are no such problems; by itself, it also has no smell. For kitchen knives, this is a definite plus.
sharpening
With an equal amount of carbon, blades made of stainless steels will be more difficult to sharpen due to increased wear resistance. Therefore, dressing blades made of high-carbon corrosion-resistant steel will require a special tool: a fine-grained water stone or a ceramic finishing rod. Blades made of carbon steel, on the contrary, can be edited even with ordinary cook's musat. The sharpness achieved in this case, according to practitioners, is much superior to the sharpness of rums from corrosion-resistant analogues, although it is somewhat inferior to them in terms of durability and wear resistance. Simply put, a carbon blade is easier to sharpen, easier to edit and cuts better than a stainless counterpart, but inferior to it in corrosion resistance and sharpness retention.
Ease of maintenance
Both steels clearly require regular cleaning, straightening, sharpening and proper storage. Moreover, if you do this really constantly, then care in both cases will be simple; but carbon steel is still more sensitive to "inattention". Throw at the same time care for high-carbon and stainless steels, and the first is more likely to "revenge" the appearance of rust.
Cutting properties
This is where high carbon steel wins. Due to the more pliable structure, it is more sensitive to sharpening, and the cutting edge of high carbon steel can be much thinner than stainless steel. And this determines, as they say, "sharpness."
The aesthetic side of the issue
- Stainless steel does not require additional corrosion protection, so it is often simply polished. But high-carbon steel looks much more diverse as a result, since a variety of processing methods are used for blades made from it: their purpose is functional, but they also “give” steel and individuality. For example, bluing gives the blade an elegant black color, blackwash coating - an unusual gray-green hue and thousands of micro-scratches, powder coating - a matte texture. In principle, the same can be done with stainless steel, but this is not usually practiced.
- Sooner or later, a dark uniform coating forms on the carbon, which naturally protects the blade from further oxide; whether we like such an unauthorized coloring of the blade or not is an individual question. Nothing like this happens with stainless steel.
For all the listed characteristics, there are discrepancies both on the forums and in the literature (especially regarding sharpening - and the labor costs for it, and the time that the blade holds it). The fact is that in practice, few people experience pure steel of one kind or another: most often the blade is treated in some way either from corrosion or from mechanical damage. This greatly distorts the objective picture.
An important point: the problem with corrosion in carbon steel is solved by processing the blade, but the problem of cutting properties in stainless steel has not yet been completely resolved.
***
If we are ready to regularly care for the knife, that is, keep it clean and dry, then a carbon steel blade is suitable for many purposes - it will give us much more comfortable work due to the “sharp” blade. If we just need a reliable kitchen or hunting knife, which we are not ready to spend a lot of time on, stainless steel should be chosen.
Features of wood: stabilized sapwood
Sapwood is reddish-white, sometimes with a grayish sheen. The core is light, pink-brown in color. Without characteristic smell or taste. Annual rings are not too pronounced, but moderately small or medium in size on radial and tangential sections.
The rays are visible to the naked eye, but only so large.
Although most of the texture is fine-grained with straight fibers. But figured maple with a texture is often found, which includes a wavy, quilted, folded pattern or the well-known "bird's eye".
Wood has lower indicators than other types of maples. It is of medium weight (specific gravity 545 kg/m3) and hardness (Yanke hardness 850 pounds).
It has an average durability index, but with proper processing, the wood is relatively stable and not prone to rotting.
What is maple cap?
Splints on the tree with the usual direction of the fibers changed, thereby changing the wood texture characteristic of maple. It is this knotty growth that leads to the formation of strange patterns on the surface of the wood inside.
The cause of the formation of the cap is considered to be stress from trauma to the bark, fungi, wood, viruses or caused by insects. Wood, as a rule, grows quickly, abnormal growth is observed mainly in tree trunks, but also occurs on lignified roots. Due to the rapid growth and various forms of growth, the wood fibers form extremely intricate and beautiful patterns of kapa.
Uses of maple sap
Maple sap is highly valued by artists because of its unique fiber texture, structure and relative rarity. Works of applied art, design objects, unique furniture, decorative veneer are created from it.
Interesting fact
In more humid parts of the range, for example, as in the Olympic National Park (English Olympic National Park), which is located near the city of Port Angeles (Washington state, USA), the bark of the broadleaf maple is covered with epiphytic species of mosses and ferns. In similarly humid areas, along the west coast of the United States, maple tree sap is most common.

Materials obtained from wood are widely used in folk crafts and decorative and applied art.
Linden, aspen, birch, alder, willow - these trees also provide wood for crafts, and/or rod and linden for weaving. If the material is unusual and rare, it brings the product to a new level - a valuable product or even a work of art, which deserves a larger than local history museum. Among them is a cap (growth), a defect in the development of trees of various species. In terms of physical and aesthetic properties, processed sapwood (birch sapwood is used more often than others) can compete with valuable types of wood that are not harvested in our country, stone, bone. It is hard, strong, dense, with a characteristic fine structure, which is not difficult to emphasize and strengthen with natural methods of decoration and coloring in products made of birch bark and other species.
Caps are classified as growths on trees, local thickenings on branches, trunk, roots. It is formed by highly deformed, silky wood with many dormant buds. The interweaving of annual layers, the pattern of kidney holes and rings forms the visible structure of the wood.
And the very exits of the kidney to the surface — form a complex texture, similar to a frozen picture of drops and splashes. Both qualities, structure and texture, are used in the products.
From the growth of the wood, close to the capu souvel. In it, the wood also forms a complex, but less winding pattern, and there is no variety of kidneys characteristic of kapu. Young shoots often grow from buds on the crown of a living tree. This is typical for suveli. Growths can take the form of local and zonal thickenings. They are found both on the visible part of the plant and underground, where the cap is also covered with bark, like the trunk of a normal tree. Fresh shoots from "awakened kidneys" growing from under the ground near the parent tree allow you to find an underground cap (kapokorin).
Cap growth without special treatment as an interior decoration
Cap is a defect in the development of wood. It is difficult to single out a general or single cause of the appearance. Most likely, crown formation is a complex response of a growing tree to external influences, probably associated with mutations.
Indirect confirmation of this is the presence of multiple canes on the affected tree and its absence on neighboring trees. It is possible that local damage to the plant, disease, triggers growth (leads to protective activity in response to the tree). Kapa is more on grafted trees, trees with strong pruning. There are mentions that walnut plantations with grafted trees served as a rich source of valuable capping material. To improve the "psychological portrait" of the kapa, the concept of stronger, diseased and immune parent tree material is used. This shifts the emphasis from the growth - a disease, to the drop - evidence of the natural growth and "hardening" of the tree. Since the cap is rare, and it is very time-consuming to set up a laboratory experiment of the development of the cap, it is unlikely that such a concept has reliable factual basis.
Canker is found in the irregular formation of wood and bark from the cambium and the abnormal development of accessory buds. In the course of natural, healthy growth, a new annual layer and bark is formed from the cambium.
In kapi, the directions of wood growth are not oriented, the wood layers are bent and crumpled. The emergence of appendages and the presence of dormant buds waiting for their time is a normal consequence of tree growth. Superficial dormant buds can normally develop into shoots. Some find themselves in the thickness of the tree and upon awakening form local thickenings on the trunk. In the case of kapa, the process of nucleation and development of the kidneys is extremely active (by the standards of the tree's life). The buds deform the wood in the thickness of the cap, forming a blistered surface.
