Frequently Asked Questions about Handmade Knives

Why are handmade knives more expensive than regular store-bought knives?
Handmade knives are produced in small batches with a focus on detail, quality, and sustainability. We use premium materials from Europe and the USA, and each knife is the result of meticulous craftsmanship and thorough quality checks, rather than mass production. Moreover, buying a handmade knife is a long-term investment in a durable product that can be passed down from generation to generation.

1. What materials do you use?
   Our knives are crafted from top-quality steels and sustainable materials sourced from Europe and the USA. We ensure that all resources meet high standards of quality and ethics.
2. How long will a knife last?
   With proper care, a handmade knife can last a lifetime. We recommend sharpening it regularly and keeping it dry to maintain its sharpness and beautiful appearance.
   
   
3. How do I care for a handmade knife?
   After use, rinse the knife with lukewarm water and dry it immediately. It’s not recommended to wash it in a dishwasher, as chemicals and moisture can damage the materials. Carbon steel
   blades should be regularly treated with a light coating of oil to prevent rust.
   
   
4. What is the difference between carbon steel and stainless steel?
   Carbon steel can achieve a very sharp edge and is easy to sharpen, but it requires more care because it is prone to rust. Stainless steel is more resistant to corrosion and simpler to maintain, but sharpening can be more challenging.
   
   
5. Why support handmade knives?
   By purchasing a handmade knife, you support local craftsmanship, ethical working conditions, and sustainability. Unlike mass-produced items, each knife is a unique piece with its own story, offering value not only in the kitchen but also as an investment.
