Caring for your handmade knife:
Due to the nature of handcrafting and traditional blacksmithing, each knife is unique and may have some cosmetic distortion or irregularities. This is expected and normal. Because these knives are handcrafted, they do not qualify for warranty services.
- Always hand wash and thoroughly hand-dry your knife
- Wipe your knife down while you’re cooking, especially after cutting acidic foods
- Lightly coat your knife with mineral oil before storing
- Never store your knife wet, or allow it to soak in water
- Never place knife in a dishwasher
- Do not cut bones, frozen products, or pits
- Do not twist, chop, hit, or pry with your knife. Always use in a locomotive slicing motion
