Carbon Steel Knife Care kit

Properly forged carbon steel knives will out-perform any other kitchen knife, but do require a minimal amount of care (hand washing and drying after each use) to stay in peak performance. Our Carbon Steel Knife Care Kit, which includes specially formulated blade oil and handle wax, can help keep your STEELPORT and other premium carbon steel knives looking their best for years to come.

Care of a Carbon Steel Knife is very simple – here is what we recommend:

• Hand Wash & Dry: The best way to care for a Carbon Steel Knife is simply to always rinse and dry it completely after each use. Avoid using aggressive chemicals, leaving it unwashed, or leaving it in water or set out wet to air dry.
• Occasional Oiling: To keep your knife in top condition, oil it occasionally, especially if it will be stored for an extended period of time. We recommend using Camellia oil (as provided in our Care Kit) or food-grade mineral oil. Cooking oils can also be an option but they can break down and become rancid.
• Wood Handle Care: Your STEELPORT knife features a resin-stabilized wood handle that is designed to meet the demands of a busy kitchen, but it still benefits from some minimal care to keep it looking its best. Treat your wood handle like a wooden cutting board, i.e. avoid letting it soak in water, and rub it down with the handle wax like our Care Kit Handle Wax once or twice a month.
• Embrace the Patina: STEELPORT knives are soaked in coffee to create an initial patina on the blade, but over time, all carbon steel knives will change color and develop a natural patina based on how you use them. This is not a bad thing! This is part of the beautiful heirloom nature of the product. The unique coloring each knife develops reflects your own cooking style and favorite ingredients over the years.
