Knife Care Tips ...
In my estimation, Damascus and Carbon Steel knives are better than stainless steel knives but do require some extra care. There are some tips for you to look after your knives
Never store your knives for long periods in the leather sheath. Leather can absorb water, which will rust the knife.
After use, wash the blade, dry it, and use Flitz, WD-40, vegetable oil, or Vaseline on the blade to prevent rust. Kitchen knives can be washed and dried without oiling. Carbon steel will change colors with time but will still perform well.
Clean the brass and handle metal with Flitz or another brass cleaner. Johnson’s paste wax can be used on the blade handle and sheath to protect it. Birchwood Casey gunstock wax is another alternative for the sheath, metal parts, and the knife blade.
Damascus is very easy to clean up if rusted but seems to be rust-resistant. Sometimes Damascus gets dark with age. To brighten up the blade, sand it lengthwise with a worn piece of 600 grit sandpaper. This just hits the raised portions of the etched pattern and makes the blade look brighter.
If your sheath gets wet, don’t store the knife in it.
