Stainless steel, a well-known and widely used steel type, was first industrialized in 1912. It offers several advantages for those concerned about scissor maintenance:
-
Sharpening: Carbon steel is both tough and softer than stainless steel, allowing it to be sharpened to a finer edge and making it easier to sharpen.
-
Chipping Resistance: It is less prone to chipping compared to stainless steel, but care should still be taken to avoid dropping the scissors on the ground.
-
Weight: Carbon steel is a lighter metal, making it a suitable choice for those who need lighter scissors due to conditions like arthritis, nerve problems, or wrist issues.
However, it's important to note that carbon steel is prone to rusting unless treated with an anti-rust coating. To maintain carbon steel scissors:
- Keep the blades dry, protecting them from both water and humidity in the air.
- If not in use for an extended period, store the scissors in their box with the blades coated in oil, such as sewing machine oil, to prevent rust.
