1. Cleaning: After each use, clean the axe blade with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid soaking the blade in water to prevent rust and corrosion.
2. Sharpening: Regularly check and sharpen the axe with a whetstone or sharpening tool suitable for Damascus steel to maintain a sharp edge.
3. Rust Prevention: Apply a light coat of mineral oil or a specialized blade oil to the blade after cleaning to prevent rust and keep the Damascus finish intact.
4. Handle Maintenance: Wipe the rosewood handle with a damp cloth and avoid exposing it to excessive moisture to prevent warping. Apply wood oil or conditioner occasionally to maintain the handle’s natural luster and durability.
5. Sheath Care: Store the axe in its vegetable-tanned leather sheath when not in use to protect the blade. Keep the sheath dry and away from direct sunlight. If the leather gets wet, allow it to air-dry naturally.
