Carbon Steel Blade Care:
Carbon steel knives require extra care to prevent rusting and oxidation of the surface. Knives should not be placed in a dishwasher or allowed to soak in a sink. After use clean the blade with a damp sponge or cloth and dry thoroughly. You could also apply a light coating of vegetable oil to the blade’s surface. Use steel wool to remove signs of rust and then apply some oil to the blade. To keep the blade razor sharp, use a honing, or sharpening, steel. After some use, the carbon steel blade will develop a patina, a darkening which is desirable and an indication of its age.
