How to Care for Your Custom Knife

Cleaning Your Knife

Let’s cut to the chase: treat your knife like your favorite pet. It doesn’t need walks, but a bath (sans dishwasher) and a good dry-off will keep it from going to the dark side—rust. Remember, "stainless" is more of a hopeful suggestion than a promise. Leaving your knife wet is like forgetting to cancel a free trial; it'll eventually cost you.

General Use

Your knife has one job: cutting. If you're using it to open letters or as an impromptu hammer, you might be a genius, but you're also voiding the warranty. Stick to wood or synthetic boards to keep it from getting dull. Think of it as avoiding that one relative at family gatherings—just better for everyone’s edge.

Storing Your Knife

Store your knife like a treasure map, away from sunlight and the chaos of a drawer where good knives go to become mediocre. Metal racks? Too harsh. They’re like putting a supermodel on a billboard in a hailstorm. Opt for a wooden or synthetic magnetic bar. And if it’s taking a long nap, a drop of mineral oil will keep it from waking up rusty and cranky.

Sharpening

Sharpening your knife is easier than folding a fitted sheet and infinitely more satisfying. A ceramic honing rod is your friend here, less drama than a steel one. We'll happily sharpen your knife for the cost of a round trip ticket—it's like sending it on vacation minus the annoying tourist photos. But learning to do it yourself is rewarding, like mastering the art of parallel parking on the first try.

Warranty

Our warranty is like that friend who says they'll help you move and actually shows up. It covers you for life against defects, not against using your knife as a makeshift canoe paddle. We understand things happen, but misuse and adventures in DIY knife modification aren't covered. Think of it as a pact: you treat the knife with a smidge of respect, and it'll reciprocate by not becoming a paperweight.
