Damascus steel is famous for its distinctive wavy or watery pattern. This visible pattern is created by a centuries-old process of forging and folding multiple layers of steel, resulting in an incredibly strong, durable, and razor-sharp blade. Every blade is a unique work of art.

To prevent rust and maintain the blade’s integrity, we strongly recommend washing your knife **by hand** with warm water and mild soap immediately after use.

After washing, dry the knife completely with a clean towel and store it in a dry place. You may apply a light coat of food-grade oil (like mineral oil) occasionally.
