Damascus knives are delicate and intricate weapons that require special care and attention to maintain their quality and longevity. At True Damascus, we understand the importance of proper knive care and provide the following tips for caring for your knive.
 

  1. Keep your damascus knife clean and dry at all times. Moisture and humidity can cause rust, corrosion, or other damage to the blade, hilt, or other components.

  2. After use, wipe your knife down with a soft, dry cloth to remove any dirt, sweat, or moisture.

  3. If your knive becomes dirty or stained, use a mild soap solution and a soft-bristled brush to clean it. Avoid using abrasive or harsh cleaning agents that can damage the blade or hilt.

  4. Store your knife in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not store your knife in a damp or humid area, such as a basement or attic.

  5. If your knife has a leather or fabric component, such as a handle or scabbard, clean and condition it regularly to prevent cracking or fading.

  6. Do not attempt to sharpen or modify your knife unless you are a trained professional.
