Care Instructions

Most tools are made with stainless steels which typically carry low maintenance requirements due to the excellent corrosion resistance properties. I recommend you hand wash and dry your tool before placing it back in it's sheath. A light coating of food-safe oil is recommended to further enhance corrosion resistance. 

Never wash in a dishwasher.

Most handles (like wood) have been treated with several coats of oil for protection and may be stabilized. Depending on the species of wood this may last a lifetime. Certain woods can dry out with excessive use and exposure to water and detergents. (Always wash your tool by hand, never in the dishwasher) Additional applications of oil are a great way you restore life and luster. I use Odie's oil primarily, but a quality wood treatment will work. I recommend avoiding shellac or anything that will leave a plastic-like layer on top of the wood. Stabilized wood may not need oiling.

Sharpen your tool with any typical system (wet stones, diamonds, ceramics, whatever) maintaining a consistent angle. Lifetime sharpening is included with every tool purchase, just contact me via email and pay return shipping.
