How to Clean and Maintain Your Damascus Bowie Knife:

1. Regular Cleaning: After each use, clean the blade with warm water and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or detergents that can damage the blade’s finish.
2. Dry Thoroughly: After washing, immediately dry the knife with a soft cloth to prevent moisture from causing rust or tarnish on the blade and handle.
3. Apply Oil: Lightly coat the blade with a thin layer of mineral oil or knife-specific oil to protect it from rust and maintain its sheen. Be sure to use food-safe oil if you plan to use it for food preparation.
4. Sharpen Regularly: To maintain the knife’s sharpness, use a honing stone or sharpening steel appropriate for Damascus steel. Avoid using powered sharpeners as they can overheat and damage the blade.
5. Store Properly: Keep the knife in its vegetable-tanned leather sheath when not in use. Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup. You can also add a silica gel packet inside the sheath to absorb any moisture.
6. Handle Care: Occasionally apply a wood conditioner or resin-safe cleaner to the handle, especially since it’s made of Damascus Guard, Bone, and Resin Spacer materials. This helps maintain the handle’s durability and aesthetics.

Following these steps will ensure your Damascus Bowie knife remains in excellent condition for years to come!
