Background

« I started making knives as a hobby in 2019. All of them are hand-made from start to finish. Most of them are made as gifts. Materials that I have chosen for the blades are high carbon steels that can be hardened in a homeshop environment. »

Care & Maintenance

« High carbon steel blade needs a bit of care. Rinse the blade with hot water after use and dry it carefully. You can also use dish soap but DO NOT put it in the dishwasher. It is normal for carbon steel to stain i.e. produce patina in use. Patina will protect the steel from corrosion. If the blade starts to feel a bit dull you can try stroping it with leather belt or if it becomes very dull it will sharpen relatively easy with a sharpening stone. Every once and a while you can put some pure mineral oil to the blade and some tung- or linseed-oil to the handle.

But above all - use the knife! It was made for that… »
