Cleaning and Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and performance of your handmade Damascus axe, follow these cleaning and maintenance guidelines:

1. Cleaning After Use:
   • After each use, clean the blade with warm, soapy water. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the Damascus finish.
   • Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately with a soft cloth to prevent moisture buildup, which can lead to rust.
2. Blade Maintenance:
   • Periodically apply a light coat of food-safe mineral oil or axe oil to the blade to protect against corrosion and maintain its sharpness.
   • Sharpen the blade as needed, using a whetstone or sharpening tool, following the original bevel angle for optimal performance.
3. Handle Care:
   • Wipe the rosewood handle with a damp cloth to remove dirt and sweat. Avoid soaking the handle in water.
   • If the wood appears dry, apply a small amount of mineral oil or beeswax to nourish and protect the wood.
4. Sheath Care:
   • Store the axe in its vegetable-tanned leather sheath when not in use to protect the blade and prevent accidental injuries.
   • Clean the leather with a damp cloth and apply leather conditioner periodically to keep it supple and prevent cracking.

By following these guidelines, you can keep your handmade Damascus axe in excellent condition, ensuring it remains a reliable tool for years to come.
