Cleaning and Maintenance of the Damascus Steel Axe

1. Immediate Cleaning: After each use, wipe the axe head with a clean, dry cloth to remove moisture and prevent rust. Avoid leaving it damp.
2. Wash Gently: If the axe is dirty, wash it with warm, soapy water. Use a soft sponge or cloth to avoid scratching the Damascus finish. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
3. Drying: After washing, ensure the axe is completely dry. Use a soft cloth to wipe down the blade and handle to remove any moisture.
4. Oil the Blade: To maintain the blade’s finish and prevent rust, apply a light coat of food-grade mineral oil or gun oil to the blade periodically, especially after cleaning.
5. Handle Care: For the rosewood handle, occasionally apply a wood conditioner or mineral oil to keep it moisturized and prevent cracking.
6. Storage: Store the axe in a dry place, ideally in its leather sheath, to protect the blade and handle from moisture and damage.
7. Sharpening: Regularly check the blade’s sharpness. Use a sharpening stone or file to maintain the edge, following the original blade angle for best results.

Following these care guidelines will help extend the life of your Damascus steel axe and keep it in excellent working condition.
