Keeping Your Tools in Pristine Condition

At AM Exotic Blades & Scales, we understand the value of a finely crafted knife. Each piece is not just a tool but an artwork. Proper care ensures your knife remains both functional and beautiful for years to come. Here are a few of our top care tips:

Cleaning Your Knife: Always clean your knife by hand with warm soapy water after use. Avoid dishwashers as harsh chemicals and temperatures can damage the handle material and dull the blade.

Drying: Thoroughly dry your knife after washing. Moisture can degrade the blade and handle materials over time, especially wood and horn scales.

Oiling the Blade: Lightly oil the blade regularly to prevent rust and corrosion. Use food-safe mineral oil for kitchen knives.

Caring for Scales: Treat knife handles made from natural materials like wood, horn, and composite with special oils designed for that material to prevent drying and cracking.

Storage: Store your knives in a dry place, ideally in a knife block or magnetic rack to prevent blade damage.

Sharpening: Keep your blade sharp with a quality whetstone or honing rod. Regular sharpening maintains the blade's edge and performance.
