Maintenance of a carbon Damascus knife:

1. Proper Use

• Avoid impact : Do not use it to cut bone, metal, or hard surfaces like tile. This may damage the edge or structure of the blade.
• Not for abrasive tasks : Carbon Damascus is susceptible to scratches and premature wear.

2. Cleaning after use

• Manual cleaning only : Wash the blade immediately after use with warm water and a soft sponge. Avoid the dishwasher, which can accelerate oxidation and damage the blade.
• Immediate drying : Wipe the blade thoroughly with a dry cloth to prevent rust from forming.

3. Preventive maintenance

• Rust Protection : Carbon Damascus steel is not stainless. Regularly apply a thin layer of food-grade oil (such as camellia or mineral oil) to prevent oxidation, especially if you don't use it often.
• Regular sharpening : Use a suitable whetstone to maintain the edge. Avoid electric sharpening tools, which can damage the blade structure.
• Storage : Store the blade in a dry place, preferably in a leather case or sheath, to avoid shock and moisture.

4. Attention to the environment

• Avoid humid environments : If you use your blade outdoors, be sure to dry and oil it promptly after exposure to moisture or rain.
• Caution with acids : Avoid leaving the blade in prolonged contact with acidic foods such as citrus fruits or tomatoes, which can cause corrosion or staining.

5. Aesthetic aspect

• Damascus Pattern Preservation : Do not clean the blade with abrasive or chemical products that could alter the unique Damascus patterns. Use mild products suitable for carbon steel.
