🔪 Care & Maintenance GuideTo keep your handcrafted obsidian knife in gallery condition, please follow these guidelines:
1. The Obsidian Blade (Volcanic Glass)Handle with Care: Obsidian is natural glass. While incredibly sharp, it is brittle. Avoid dropping it on hard surfaces or using it for prying, as the edges can chip.Cleaning: Wipe the blade with a soft, damp microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive sponges that might scratch the natural sheen.
Storage: Store the knife in a padded case or on a display stand to prevent the knapped edges from coming into contact with other hard objects.
2. The Hand-Turned Wood HandleMoisture Control: Never soak the handle in water or place it in a dishwasher. Excess moisture can cause the wood to swell or crack.
Re-Oiling: To maintain the deep luster seen in the \"Handle Detail\" photo, occasionally apply a food-safe mineral oil or beeswax polish. Rub it in with a soft cloth and buff gently.
Avoid Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can fade the natural pigments of the wood over time.
3. The Hilt & TwineKeep Dry: The natural fiber wrapping should be kept dry to prevent fraying or weakening of the adhesive bond.
Dusting: Use a soft-bristled brush (like a clean paintbrush) to remove dust from the crevices of the twine wrapping.
