The Damascus steel offered by AA Knives is forged from three different types of steel to achieve its well-known and unique pattern, which combines the positive working properties of the three steels used\u2014strength, flexibility, and long-lasting sharpness. It is believed that, thanks to its exceptional cutting ability, this steel often outperforms stainless steel products, as its blade forms a micro-serrated surface characteristic of several co-milled steel materials. Since Damascus steel is a type of carbon steel, it is especially important to remember that it must be properly maintained. Just as you wouldn\u2019t bring a hunting rifle home from a rainy day out on the hunt and leave it uncleaned and untreated, you must take care of your knife, which also plays an important role in the hunting process. After use, a Damascus steel knife must be thoroughly wiped down, cleaned of dirt, and dried to prevent moisture buildup during storage, which can cause rust over time, and don\u2019t forget to oil it. You don\u2019t need to buy professional care products for this purpose; as any cooking oil used in the kitchen will do, since a hunting knife almost always comes into contact with meat and other food products, so it\u2019s not recommended to use machine oil to protect the knife. You also shouldn\u2019t forget about regular sharpening and adjustment. However, anyone can forget a knife they\u2019ve just used in the car or at the bottom of a bag, and after it\u2019s been there for a while, dark spots appear on the blade\u2014the first signs of rust. But don\u2019t worry\u2014you don\u2019t have to give up your favorite tool! For the best results, head to any hardware store and buy the finest-grit sandpaper (P2000\u20132500) and remove the rust spots by gently rubbing the blade. Remember that your knife will last longer and perform better if you can find a few moments each day to care for it properly, but if, after purchasing a knife, you\u2019re still unsure about how to care for it, AA Knives will be happy to advise you on the proper care. Take good care of your knife. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Knife specifications: CHEF&#8217;S KNIFE Steel: Damascus steel blade (HVG, U10, ShH15), 800 layers Hardness: 60 HRC Blade length (mm): 182 \/ 7.16 inches Blade thickness (mm): 2 \/ 0.078 inches Handle: Stabilized Karelian birch Total length (mm): 305 \/ 12.00 inches Package contents: knife, leather sheath Packaging: knife, leather sheath Use and Care of Damascus Steel Damascus steel is widely recognized as one of the most durable knife steels, favored by hunters, anglers, and outdoor enthusiasts.
