Cleaning and Maintenance

1. Clean After Each Use: Use a damp cloth to wipe off the blade. Avoid soaking the knife to prevent rusting.
2. Dry Thoroughly: After cleaning, ensure the blade is completely dry to avoid moisture damage. Damascus steel, though durable, can be sensitive to prolonged water exposure.
3. Oil the Blade Regularly: Apply a thin layer of mineral or knife oil to the blade periodically to prevent rust and corrosion, especially before storing it.
4. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Use mild soap if necessary, but avoid any bleach or abrasive cleaners.
5. Leather Sheath Care: Keep the leather sheath dry to prevent moisture buildup and mold. Occasionally condition the leather to maintain its quality.
6. Sharpen When Needed: Use a sharpening stone or a fine-grit honing tool to maintain the blade’s edge, following the V-grind shape for precision.
