Care & Maintenance
How should I care for my Damascus steel knife?
To preserve the beauty and performance of your Damascus steel knife, we recommend hand washing it immediately after use with mild soap and water, then drying it thoroughly. Avoid dishwashers, as harsh detergents and high heat can damage the blade and handle. Regular light oiling (food-safe mineral oil) can also help maintain the blade's luster and prevent corrosion.
Will the unique pattern on my Damascus knife fade?
The mesmerizing pattern on Damascus steel is integral to the steel itself, created through the forging process of layering different steels. While proper care (cleaning, drying, and occasional oiling) is essential to maintain its appearance, the pattern will not simply "fade away."
