Note (Damascus Products):

All of our Damascus steel products are shipped with a protective oil coating to prevent rust or corrosion during transit. We recommend gently wiping the product with a soft cloth before first use, and if necessary, reapplying a light coat of mineral oil for ongoing protection. Please note that each knife is handmade, so the blade pattern and handle may vary, with each Damascus pattern being unique as a result of the hand-forging process. This ensures your knife is truly one-of-a-kind. Thank you for understanding and caring for your handcrafted piece!
