Knife care instructions
In almost every knife I make I use high carbon steel. The knife care for handmade high carbon blades is different than that of a normal production made knife. I will start with this absolutely NEVER I repeat NEVER wash one of the handmade knives in a dishwasher. Now that that has been said. The knives should only be hand washed. They should Never be allowed to sit with moisture on them. This will cause them to rust. after washing the knife, dry completely, and add a thin coat of oil. I recommend to use food, safe mineral oil. I would suggest against using any kind of cooking oil as it can spoil. so the points to take away from this are always dry your knife after use and apply oil.
Overtime the knives will develop a patina. This will present itself as dark grey discoloration on the blade. This is completely normal and actually helps protect the blade from rusting.
