Frequently Asked Questions

How do I protect my Damascus steel blades from deterioration?
To maintain the stunning appearance of your Damascus steel blade, regularly coat it with a light oil, such as WD-40 or olive oil. This not only protects the blade from rust but also enhances its beautiful, unique pattern. When storing your blade, avoid keeping it in a leather sheath for more than a month, as the absorbent nature of leather can lead to staining. If you prefer to store your knife in leather, wrap the blade in plastic wrap before placing it in the sheath.

Is it real Damascus steel?
Yes, every Damascus blade we offer is crafted from genuine Damascus steel. Our skilled artisans create these blades by hand-forging and layering 15N20 and 1095 carbon steel, resulting in an authentic and high-quality Damascus pattern.

Are the Damascus steel blades dishwasher safe?
No, it is not advisable to use a dishwasher for cleaning Damascus steel blades. The harsh environment and detergents can damage the blade and its intricate pattern. Instead, hand wash and dry your blade thoroughly to maintain its beauty and performance.
