Wash knife after use, dry blade and put knife oil or vegetable oil. Sometimes Damascus gets dark with age, to brighten up blade use worn 600 grit sand paper which hits raised portion of etched pattern and brightens blade. If Sheath gets wet while carrying use Vaseline liberally on blade, while in use.<o:p></o:p></font></span></p><p style="text-align: center">&nbsp;</p></span></p><p style="text-align: center">&nbsp;</p>
