Care Tips:
Keep it Clean: After each use, wipe the blade with a clean, dry cloth to remove any moisture, fingerprints, or debris.
Avoid Moisture: Damascus steel can be prone to rust if exposed to moisture for prolonged periods. Keep it dry and store it in a dry environment.
Oil Regularly: Apply a thin layer of mineral or gun oil to the blade to protect it from moisture and corrosion. Be sure to wipe off any excess oil.
Store Safely: When not in use, store your Damascus knife in a dry, cool place. Consider using a sheath or blade cover to prevent accidental damage.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Refrain from using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on the blade, as they can damage the steel and the intricate patterns.
Regular Maintenance: Periodically inspect your blade for any signs of wear, rust, or damage. Address any issues promptly to prevent further deterioration.
