Warranty Notes:

All knives purchased from me include free sharpening for life. You are responsible for shipping fees, or scheduling time to bring the knife over for resharpening.

If you somehow damage your knife by running it over with your lawnmower, I may be able to salvage it but you would need to cover the cost of the repair.

Knife Care Instructions:

CARBON STEEL KNIFE CARE:

  • Never put in the dishwasher. The harsh chemicals and hot temperature will ruin the quality of the blade and deteriorate the handle.

  • A knife made from carbon steel is susceptible to rust.

  • Do not leave wet on the bench or the knife may rust. Dry thoroughly after hand washing and do not store unless fully dry. Use a paper towel to dry the blade instead of a kitchen cloth, which tend to leave the blade slightly damp.

  • I highly recommend a protective layer of Axe Wax or mineral oil on the blade and handle after drying. **Do not use cooking oil, it will go rancid over time**

  • A grey/black patina will form on the blade. This is totally normal for carbon steel and aids in protecting against rust.

SHARPENING AND MAINTENANCE:

  • Use Japanese whetstones or similar stone sharpening system to sharpen your knife. **I can always re-sharpen the blade for you**

  • A honing steel can be used lightly in between sharpening on stones. Do not use a diamond or rough steel – I recommend a fine ceramic steel.

  • DO NOT use a pull through electric sharpener of any type.

  • Any rust should be removed immediately so it doesn't spread. Use rust cleaner for light rust or rust eraser or fine grit sandpaper for heavier rust.
