Frequently Asked Questions

How do I maintain my Damascus knife?

Clean the knife with warm water and mild soap immediately after use. Dry it thoroughly and store it in a dry place. Avoid the dishwasher. Regularly hone the knife with a fine whetstone to maintain its optimal sharpness.

Is the masur birch handle durable for daily use?

Yes, masur birch is chosen for both its aesthetic qualities and durability. It is naturally resistant to moisture, but we recommend drying the handle after cleaning and treating it with food-safe wood oil 2-3 times a year to preserve its beautiful appearance.
