Damascus and Carbon Steel Care

Due to the carbon content in the steel, there are several rules when using handmade knives.

​

1.Never put them in a dishwasher. They will sit in the water and rust.

​

2.After use, wipe down and clean dry and put away. With knives like hunters that are not used every day, a light coat in oil prevents oxidisation.

​

3.Unless it is made to break bones like cleavers etc, don’t smash little knives on bones, open jars etc. You wouldn’t use your Ferrari key to open a paint tin, don’t use the knife.

​

4.Unless you have a good system or knowledge, pay to get them sharpened. While a steel will sharpen the edge, each knife has certain angles for the edge for different purposes. Local knife sharpeners can re-edge the knife when damaged and the steel will keep it sharp as a razor.
