Care Instructions

To ensure your Damascus steel knife lasts a lifetime, please follow these care guidelines:

• Keep it Dry: High-carbon Damascus steel is susceptible to rust if left wet. Clean and thoroughly dry the blade immediately after each use.
• Oil the Blade: Regularly apply a light coat of knife oil, mineral oil, or Renaissance Wax to the blade to protect the steel and preserve the visible pattern.
• Handle Care: Occasionally wipe down the Padauk wood handle with a wood conditioner or linseed oil to keep the wood vibrant and prevent drying.
• No Dishwashers: Never put this knife in a dishwasher or leave it soaking in water.
• Storage: If storing for long periods, do not keep the knife inside the leather sheath, as leather can absorb moisture and tarnish the blade. Wrap it in a dry, soft cloth instead.
