CARE & SUPPORT

Take care of your working knife.

DeXHand blades use 1095 high-carbon steel. A few habits after each job help keep the blade ready for the next one.

Wash by hand

Use warm water and mild soap. Keep it out of the dishwasher and do not leave it soaking.

Dry immediately

Dry the blade and handle completely. Moisture left on carbon steel can cause rust.

Oil lightly

Apply a thin coat of food-safe mineral oil to the dry blade between uses. Follow the oil manufacturer’s food-contact instructions.

Store clean and dry

Make sure the blade and its sheath are dry before storing. Keep the edge protected and out of children’s reach.

Patina and service questions

Carbon steel can darken with use. If you see rust, damage or a change you are unsure about, stop and ask Captain Chris about care and available service options.
