Cleaning and Maintenance:
To keep your Damascus steel axe in top condition and prolong its lifespan, follow these steps:
- Clean After Use: Wipe the blade with a soft, dry cloth to remove any dirt, sap, or moisture. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the steel.
- Prevent Rust: Apply a thin coat of oil (e.g., gun oil, mineral oil) on the blade after each use to protect it from moisture and prevent rusting.
- Sharpening: Use a sharpening stone or professional sharpening service to maintain the blade’s sharp edge. Be sure to follow the natural grind of the blade.
- Store Properly: Always store the axe in its provided vegetable-tanned leather sheath. Keep the axe in a dry, cool environment away from direct sunlight and moisture to prevent handle cracking and steel corrosion.
- Handle Care: Rub the rosewood handle with a small amount of linseed or mineral oil to maintain its smooth finish and prevent drying or cracking.
