Damascus knife maintenance methods

The production principle of Damascus steel is to fold and forge high carbon steel and wrought iron together, and finally weld together in high temperature hammering, just like rolling, to become a piece of hand-forged alloy steel. Therefore, Damascus steel belongs to high carbon steel. There is a saying called "carbon steel is king", which means that in terms of hardness and sharpness, any other steel material is not as good as carbon steel. The folding forging process can effectively overcome the weakness of high carbon steel, which lacks toughness and is easy to break, and achieve a combination of hardness and softness. Do not store the Damascus steel tool in the leather sheath for a long time, because the leather sheath is easy to absorb moisture in the air. Do not use other sheaths to store knives, each Damascus steel knife has a specially tailored sheath, this extremely flexible leather component is specially treated to have a certain degree of moisture resistance, but also to ensure that the tool will not wear during the drawing process.

In addition, Damascus steel knives also need to take a certain amount of care, the best way is to regularly gently grind and polish the tool with a Renaissance Wax coating, and then smooth with a soft cotton cloth. Another method is to use Boiled Linseed Oil. After about 10 minutes, apply the knife over the body and wipe off excess oil with a clean linter-free cotton cloth. Then let dry for at least 48 hours to form a protective film on the knife.
