Blade Care Guide

Damascus steel is beautiful, high-performing, and long-lasting — as long as it is cared for correctly. Follow these steps to protect your Bladewolf knife for a lifetime.

1. Clean

• Hand wash only. Do not put your knife in the dishwasher.
• Use mild soap and warm water.
• Dry immediately with a soft cloth.

2. Protect

• Apply a thin coat of blade oil regularly, especially in humid climates.
• Wipe down after every use, particularly with acidic foods.
• Never leave the blade wet or soaking in liquid.

3. Store

• Keep the knife in a dry sheath, presentation box, or knife block.
• Avoid long-term storage in damp or leather-only environments.
• Keep away from children and untrained users.

4. Sharpen properly

• Use a quality whetstone or a Damascus-safe sharpener.
• Maintain the original blade angle.
• Avoid grinding wheels or aggressive tools that damage the Damascus pattern.
