Cleaning

Sharpening

• Avoid excessive use of pull-through sharpeners.

Damascus Steel Care

• Damascus steel may develop surface rust if left wet.
• Apply a light coat of food-safe mineral oil after cleaning, especially if the knife will not be used for an extended period.

Wooden Handle Care

• Keep wooden handles dry.
• Occasionally apply food-safe mineral oil or beeswax to maintain the wood’s appearance.

Important

• Do not place handmade knives in a dishwasher.
• Do not use your knife to cut bones, frozen foods, or pry open objects.
• Always use a wooden or plastic cutting board to protect the blade.

With proper care, your Artistical Blades knife will provide years of reliable performance.
