Care Instructions

Your handmade blade deserves proper care to last a lifetime. Follow these tips to preserve its beauty and performance:

🔪 General Care:

  • Keep the blade clean and dry after use
  • Apply a thin coat of oil (mineral, camellia, or gun oil) regularly
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to water or moisture

🔥 Damascus & High Carbon Steel:

  • These steels are not stainless — they require extra care
  • Store in a cool, dry place with low humidity
  • Wipe with an oiled cloth before storing

🧊 Stainless Steel Blades:

  • More resistant to rust, but still benefit from proper care
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild soap — dry immediately
  • Light oiling helps preserve the finish and smoothness

Never place your blade in a dishwasher or soak it in water. Proper care ensures long-term durability and appearance.
