Maintenance for your hand forged knife is not as intimidating as it seems. It really boils down to three simple things.

• NO Dishwasher. Caustic dishwashing detergent and high heat will tarnish the blade and can ruin the handle.

• Keep it dry. Super simple, after hand washing hand dry before storing.

• Oil occasionally. This is last, because it’s really the least important of the three. Use a food safe oil before storing for long periods of time.

Remember carbon steel knives patina over time, it’s inevitable. Don’t stress, I take care of them, for free, forever. Just shoot me an email, call, text or stop by the shop.
