Clean and thoroughly dry the blade and bolster 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 high-contrast pattern. Handle Care: Wipe down the polished black handle with a soft microfiber cloth to maintain its glossy finish and keep the fluted grooves free of debris. No Dishwashers: Never put this knife in a dishwasher or leave it soaking in water. Storage: Store in a dry environment. If storing for long periods in a leather sheath, wrap the blade in a dry, soft cloth or plastic film first, as leather can absorb ambient moisture.
