Carbon steel, 2 questioins

Posted by new cook, July 15, 2011

I just got a carbon steel knife. I have two very basic questions. I know that limes, lemons, and tomatoes are highly acidic. what other common foods are in the same category? Second question, is "patina" desirable or not? Thanks for your help.
