How to care for your knife

Your JackDog Forge knife is hand forged from high carbon steel. It will take a keen edge and develop a living patina with use. A little care will keep it working for generations.

Wipe the blade clean and dry after each use.

• Hand wash only when needed; dry immediately.

• Apply a light coat of oil if stored or not used daily.

• Allow a natural patina to form — this protects the steel.

• Strop or sharpen as needed to maintain the edge.

Do not leave wet or soaking in the sink.

• Do not place in the dishwasher.

• Do not store long-term in a leather sheath.

• Do not pry, twist, or cut frozen foods or bone.

• Do not ignore rust — remove promptly and oil.

If you have any questions or concerns don’t hesitate to reach out.
