How to Care for a Handmade Forged Knife

Your handmade knife is different from the knives you’ll find in big-box stores. It’s been forged by hand, with intention, from recycled steel that’s been worked and reworked until it’s perfect for slicing through proteins, vegetables, and everything in between. Because of that, it deserves care that reflects its craftsmanship.

The good news: caring for a handmade knife isn’t complicated. It just requires a few simple habits that’ll keep your blade sharp, your handle beautiful, and your knife ready for decades of cooking.
