🔪 Knife Care Guide – FFR Cutlery Knives
Our Damascus steel knives are built for performance, sharpness, and style. Their high carbon content ensures a long-lasting edge, but it also means they require a little extra care to prevent rust and maintain their beauty.
🧼 Daily Cleaning
Always hand wash your knife using warm water and mild dish soap.
Do not put your knife in a dishwasher.
Dry it immediately using a clean towel to prevent moisture exposure.
🛡️ Oiling Your Blade
After drying:
Apply a light coat of mineral oil (recommended: food-safe and long-lasting).
You can use any cooking oil for short-term protection, but avoid it for long storage, as it may spoil over time.
🧽 Rust? No Problem!
If rust appears:
Wipe the blade with apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
Then wash with warm soapy water, dry it by hand, and oil it as usual
Don’t panic — a natural patina will develop over time, offering additional protection
Damascus steel may need more care than average kitchen knives, but the superior performance and craftsmanship make it absolutely worth it.
✅ Quick Knife Care Tips
🔹 Wash by hand in warm, soapy water and dry immediately
🔹 Oil the blade before storing — mineral oil is best
🔹 Use vinegar or lemon juice to remove rust
🔹 Avoid long-term leather storage — leather can trap moisture
→ If you must use a leather roll, apply a heavy coat of oil before storing
