## Messermeister Carbon: carbon-steel blade

Carbon-steel knives are a popular choice among professional chefs. Due to the higher hardness of the steel, Messermeister Carbon kitchen knives offer serious sharpness and stay sharp much longer than stainless-steel knives. The blade is ground with precision, with an extra-high bevel and a sharpening angle of 15º per side! The blade has a stonewashed finish for a tough look. You're also less likely to see traces of use, which is great in professional kitchens. Please note; carbon steel is not very corrosion resistant, but it will form a protective patina in time. These knives are not dishwasher proof. [Read more about patina and how to maintain carbon steel here.](/en/ct/what-is-patina-on-a-knife.htm)

## Messermeister Carbon: handle

Messermeister came with an entirely new performance-driven design to optimize the extreme cutting ability of the carbon-steel blades. The relatively high handle position maximizes comfort with a ramped bolster and integrated control surfaces that guide the hand to the perfect position. The handle made from pakkawood is comprised of layered Spanish hardwood stabilized with non-phenolic, natural resins. The natural resins make the handles more durable than raw wood, while still having the same warm feel.

## Messermeister Carbon: for professionals, by professionals

The Messermeister Carbon series was designed in collaboration with British Michelin-starred chef April Bloomfield. The result is a collection of kitchen knives that includes a peeling knife, utility knife, chef's knife, carving knife, bread knife and bunka chef's knife. These stunning knives feature blades made from carbon steel. On one side of the blade you'll find an elegant engraving designed by April Bloomfield. The knives are handmade in Maniago, Italy.

General information

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade thickness

value_handle_length

Measured from the tip of the blade to the back of the handle

Total length

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

This concerns the type of edge [Want to learn more about a serrated versus a plain edge](/en/ct/pocket-knives-difference-plain-edge-serrated.htm)?

Type of edge

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

Sharpening angle

In terms of grind we are talking about how the complete blade thickness extends into the edge. Want to learn more about grinds? [Read all about grinds on knives](/en/ct/knife-grinds.htm).

value_total_sharpening_angle

This is the total sharpening angle, so the sharpening angles of both sides of the blade combined. For a knife with a one-sided grind this equals a single sharpening angle.

For the number of knives in the knife sets we stick to the information supplied by the manufacturer. Some brands consider the block to be part of the set, others don't.
