Damascus Steel: More Than Just a Pretty Pattern

Caring for Your Damascus Blade
Damascus steel is tough, but it still needs basic care to stay in good shape:
- Wipe the blade clean and dry after every use
- Apply a light coat of oil to the Damascus blade regularly
- Store the knife in a dry place, avoiding long-term storage inside the leather sheath
- Clean the stag handle with a dry or slightly damp cloth
A few minutes of care after each use keeps the blade looking sharp for years.
