What is a Damascus knife?
Damascus knives are made of Jian Zihao steel ingots with casting patterns, usually machetes. Its biggest feature is that the blade is covered with various patterns, such as flowing clouds and flowing water, which is wonderful and unusual. This pattern is formed in casting. For a long time in the past, the unique smelting technology and forging method of Damascus knife have been the technical secret of Persians and unknown to the outside world.

Damascus Road is represented by Iran. The ancient Iranian iron soldiers were very famous. At that time, the royal families of Mongolia, India, Turkey and Eastern countries all hired Persian craftsmen to cast soldiers. However, the weapons of different countries have different shapes, and the blade makers have not left any inscriptions. Over time, people will not recognize that it was made in Persia, and they can only use their own weapons represented by Iran.

Damascus knife maintenance

1, clean

Remember to clean the knife immediately after use and wipe it with clean and dry cotton cloth, and put it in a ventilated place to dry. Especially after cutting fruits (Damascus steel is easily corroded and discolored by acidic substances), sticky (dissecting prey) or other corrosive substances, it must be cleaned in time.

If clean water is difficult to clean thoroughly (such as when the knife is rusty), a small amount of weakly alkaline detergent can be used. If the corrosion is serious, it can be polished with coarse emery cloth or professional rust remover. Even if you just play with it in your hand, you should pay attention to cleanliness. Unless you wear cotton gloves, sweat and oil on your hands will invade the metal and cause corrosion.

2, antioxidant treatment

After the knife is cleaned and dried, it needs anti-oxidation treatment to prevent oxidation and corrosion caused by daily storage. Generally, clean cotton cloth is dipped in a small amount of knife oil, and a thin layer is coated on the blade body and handle. After smearing, let the knife stand for about 10 minutes, then wipe off the excess grease on the surface with a clean lint-free cloth, let the knife stand for at least 48 hours, and a protective film will be formed on the surface of the knife.
