Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes 14C28N Sandvik stainless steel a good choice for a kitchen knife blade?
A: 14C28N is a high-quality Swedish stainless steel developed specifically for knife blades. It offers an excellent combination of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening. At 61 HRC, this blade is hard enough to maintain a sharp cutting edge through repeated use while still being tough enough to resist chipping — making it ideal for everyday kitchen tasks.
Q: Does this knife come with a sheath or case?
A: Yes! Every knife includes a beautifully hand-carved vegetable-tanned cow leather sheath. This traditional sheath not only protects the blade and keeps the edge sharp during storage or transport, but also adds to the overall aesthetic appeal of the knife as a display or collector's piece.
Q: How should I care for the desert ironwood handle and stainless steel blade?
A: To preserve the desert ironwood handle, hand wash the knife with warm soapy water and dry it immediately — avoid soaking or dishwasher use, as prolonged moisture can affect natural wood. Occasionally apply a light food-safe mineral oil to the handle to maintain its lustre. The 14C28N stainless steel blade resists corrosion well; simply rinse, dry thoroughly after use, and store in the leather sheath to keep the edge protected.
