Knife Care

Most of the knives I make are crafted from 80CrV2 or 26C3 high carbon steel—tough as hell, holds a killer edge, but they’re not stainless. Damascus knives are also not stainless unless you specifically request stainless Damascus, which adds around $700 to the price.

Here’s how to keep your blade in top shape:

Keep it oiled. A light coat of food-safe oil (I use olive oil) after use goes a long way.
Rinse after cutting acidic foods like fruit or tomatoes—acid and carbon steel aren’t best friends.
No dishwashers. Ever. That’s a one-way ticket to flash rust. Hand wash only.
Dry thoroughly, then oil. Simple steps, but they’ll keep your knife alive for generations.
Stainless steel blades don’t need this level of care, but it never hurts.

If rust or patina forms:

Use high-grit sandpaper (400+) or 0000 stainless steel wool to clean it up.
If your Damascus loses its pattern after cleaning, soak it overnight in a 1:1 mix of instant coffee and water to re-etch the design. Yeah, coffee. It’s magic.

Got questions or need help? Message me anytime—I’d rather talk blade care than see a good knife go neglected.

Knife Sharpeneing

Keeping your blade sharp isn’t just about performance—it’s about respect for the steel.

80CrV2, AEB-L Stainless, and Damascus blades can be sharpened using most standard sharpening stones or guided systems. That said, avoid electric kitchen sharpeners or “pull-through” scissor-style sharpeners—they’re quick, but brutal on the edge and shorten your blade’s life.
26C3 blades are a different beast. Due to the hardness of the steel, you’ll need to use a diamond sharpening stone, rod, or a system made for high-hardness steels. It’s worth it—this steel holds a razor edge like few others.

If you’re ever unsure or need help getting your edge back, feel free to reach out. I’d rather walk you through it than hear your knife got chewed up by a $20 electric grinder.
