I recently swapped all my knives for carbon and have a White #2 petty that I cut a mango with today and it smelled terrible.
It was a mix of wet dog/cat food, even the mango juice off the blade had that same off taste. Mango itself was delicious and left no bad smells thankfully.
Anyone else experience this? Its particularly noticeable with this petty though, quite a few reactive foods leave off smells. It's got a bit of patina already but will this stop and settle down more as the patina evens or will it always do this?
