You will need to make sure the blade remains clean and dry in order to prevent rust or discoloration. After cleaning and drying your knife, you should lubricate it with wax or Oil to prevent moisture from affecting the blade. This will keep you knife rust-free and maintain its etched beauty. Avoiding abrasives–rough cloths, metal polishes, steel wool, etc–is important to maintaining the look and quality of the blade. Using a microfiber or cotton cloth to dry it, the softer material will not wear the blade. Don’t store your knife for a long time in leather sheath. Leather can absorb water, which can rust the knife. Use it a little bit once in a while. By taking good care of your Damascus steel knife, your knife will last longer and maintain its unique look. We don’t sell knives to any one who is under age 18. Custom orders are accepted with Drawings and Sizes in Millimeters or Inches, labelled for the Blade and Handle, the material required, Tang Type and Cross Section of Handle and its Profile.
