Carbon Steel Care Tips
- Always keep your carbon steel knife clean and dry immediately after use.
- Oil your carbon steel blade regularly to maintain its luster and shine. A blade oil treatment is especially important before prolonged storage. Use a neutral food-safe oil, like the STEELPORT Blade Oil made of camellia seed.
- Patina – unique color changes that occur with time and use on carbon steel blades – is natural and necessary, helping protect your blade and tell the stories of the meals it has prepared.
- If rust (dark red/orange spots) does occur, it is important to remove it before pitting can begin.
