Style: Chef Knife / Meat Cleaver / Chopper Blade Finish: Hand filed diamond textured blade, grey etch Overall Length: 11" Blade Length: 6" Handle: 5" Rosewood Material: 1095 High Carbon Steel, hardened to 57-60 HRC Includes: Hand made custom leather sheath.
KNIFE CARE: High carbon content blades can be susceptible to rust when exposure to moisture or acidic residue is left un-tended. Immediately after use, wipe down the blade and thoroughly dry (wash with warm water if necessary, but do not use soapy / dishwater), and apply a coat of vegetable oil, coconut oil, or any lubricated oil/vaseline. Store or display in a dry space. Note that for long term storage, the custom leather sheath should not be used. Use the sheath as you carry or transport the knife, but do not leave in the sheath for extended periods of time.
SHARPENING: High Carbon steel blades require no special techniques for sharpening. As with all quality knives, the best way to sharpen a Damascus blade is by using a whetstone.
