Knife-Life  Care

​​
 

​1.    Wipe Down:

• Immediately wipe down / dry your custom knife after use to prevent moisture buildup, rusting and staining/ tarnishing of steel.

• Use a soft cloth.

2.    Regular Cleaning:

• Hand wash the blade to remove debris, food residue, etc.

• Do not put your knife in the dishwasher. High heat and harsh detergents can damage the blade and handle.

3.    Use a Wax / Oil:

• A formulated blade wax is a popular choice for knives.

• Apply a thin layer of wax or oil to both the blade and handle.

• Other waxes or oils such as pure carnauba wax, mineral oil or a beeswax may be a suitable option. 

• Please do research on a product beforehand to see if it is suitable for a knife coating. Note that some coatings are not food grade. 

4.    Store Properly:

•  Ensure your knife is completely dry and waxed / oiled before storage.

•  Store your custom knife in a clean padded case to prevent scratches and damage. 

• Avoid leaving it exposed to humidity or extreme temperatures.
