The care and maintenance of Damascus steel is much like that of Carbon steel: moisture must be avoided. History is on your side, and a cool patina is in your future. Once your item has a patina it is easier to keep clean.
Important to Know: Damascus is NOT dishwasher safe.
Do not overthink taking care of your amazing Damascus steel products. Wash with soap and running water. Wipe dry. We recommend using mineral oil when possible. Mineral oil is food safe, cheap, and readily available (or a silicone cloth).
Keeping Damascus steel stored in leather is not a good long-term solution unless the steel is well oiled.
