How to care for your new knives: (You will receive a set of care instructions with your purchase) ~ Store in a dry place, moisture encourages rust. Damascus is very easy to clean if rusted but is rust resistant. ~ After use, wash and dry the blade & apply vegetable oil, or any food safe lubricating oil. ~ Sometimes Damascus steel darkens with age. To brighten up the blade, sand it lengthwise with a worn piece of sand paper. This just hits the raised portions of the etched pattern and makes the blade look brighter. No two items are ever identical; the item you receive may be slightly different to the pictures shown. Damascus steel is a refined method of forging steel where the anvil and the hammer determine just what kind of knife is made each time. The use of natural materials i.e., buffalo horn, stag horn, wood and camel bone means that variations in color and slight imperfections may be present but make each knife that much more unique.
