Knife care:

Some steels that I use are prone to rust if not cared for correctly. I recommend regularly oiling the blade and honing the edge before the knife is completely dull. Do not store the knife in the sheath for storage, as it may promote rust.

Blemishes:

These knives are handmade so there will be minor imperfections. These imperfections are surface blemishes and should not affect the knifes performance.
