Care & Maintenance Instructions

Because high-carbon (Kamani) steel offers superior hardness and edge sharpness compared to standard stainless steel, it requires proper care to prevent rust and maintain its finish:

• Hand Wash Only: Wash immediately after use with warm water and mild dish soap. Never put this cleaver in a dishwasher.

• Dry Thoroughly: Wipe the blade and brass handle dry completely with a clean cloth immediately after washing—do not let it air dry.

• Oil the Blade: Apply a thin coat of food-grade mineral oil, butcher block oil, or cooking oil to the blade before storing to protect against moisture and oxidation.

• Maintain the Wood: Periodically rub a small amount of mineral oil or beeswax conditioner into the African Wenge wood handle to keep it hydrated and rich in color.

• Proper Storage: Store in a dry place, preferably in a protective leather sheath or magnetic block.
