Q: What is the DLC coating on the blade and why does it matter?

A: DLC stands for Diamond-Like Carbon — a surface treatment applied to the blade that provides outstanding wear resistance and stain resistance. It also gives the knife its signature sleek black finish, making it as visually striking as it is functional.

Q: How should I care for and maintain this Damascus steel utility knife?

A: To preserve the blade's edge and DLC coating, hand-wash the knife with warm soapy water and dry it immediately — avoid dishwasher use. Store it in the included acacia wood box or on a magnetic knife rack. Regular honing with a ceramic or leather strop will keep the 15° edge performing at its best.
