Frequently Asked Questions
Difference between etched and non-etched blade?
Etched blade:
- Appearance: Darker, often patterned
- Process: Acid removes material, highlights patterns.
- Protection: Light corrosion protection, but more sensitive.
- Feel: Slightly rough, matte surface.
Non-etched blade:
- Appearance: Glossy or matt polished, without pattern.
- Process: Untreated or just polished.
- Protection: No extra protection, possibly more susceptible to rust.
- Feel: Smooth, more resistant to abrasion.
Why does my knife develop a patina?
A knife develops a patina because the blade reacts with oxygen, moisture and acidic foods. Carbon steel in particular tends to develop a dark, often spotty protective layer.
The patina is not harmful – many knife users even appreciate it because it protects the knife and gives it an individual look.
Why do we use carbon steel?
We use high-quality carbon steel because it offers outstanding sharpness and edge retention. These properties make it the ideal choice for precise and durable knives. In addition, carbon steel enables a particularly fine blade that will remain powerful for years with regular care.
How do I properly care for my knife?
Care instructions for carbon steel:
- Cleaning: After each use, clean by hand with warm water and a soft cloth – never put in the dishwasher.
- Drying: Dry thoroughly immediately to avoid rust formation.
- Care: Rub the blade regularly with food-safe oil to protect it from corrosion.
- Storage: Store the knife in a dry place, preferably in a knife block or on a magnetic strip.
Which wooden handles do we offer?
- Bog oak: This wood comes from thousands of years old, preserved trees found in bogs. It is characterized by its dark brown to deep black color and exceptional hardness. Each handle made of bog oak is a piece of history and absolutely unique.
- Smoked oak: Smoking gives the oak a darker, more elegant color and increased stability. It offers a warm, uniform look that goes perfectly with timeless designs.
- Natural Oak: The classic variant, known for its light, natural wood grain. It conveys a feeling of originality and simple elegance, ideal for minimalist knife designs.
Can the knives be resharpened?
Yes, all of our knives can be resharpened easily. We recommend a whetstone or a professional sharpening service.
How long does the delivery take?
Since each knife is individually manufactured, the delivery time is usually 2-3 weeks.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, we offer a 2-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
