Care & Maintenance:
Cleaning:
Wipe the blade after each use to prevent moisture buildup.
Avoid harsh chemicals; use mild soap and water. Dry immediately.
Rust Prevention:
Damascus steel is prone to rust. Apply a thin coat of mineral oil or gun oil after cleaning.
Store in a dry place, preferably with a silica gel packet in the sheath.
Sharpening:
Use a whetstone or ceramic rod for sharpening.
Maintain the original bevel angle to preserve the edge.
Storage:
Do not store in a leather sheath long-term; leather traps moisture.
Use a wooden or synthetic sheath for prolonged storage.
Avoid Misuse:
Do not use for prying, batoning, or cutting hard materials.
Keep away from acidic substances, as they can damage the steel pattern
