Dear doecon,
"Hello Don, Months ago (last year)I bought a folding damascus knife with stag handle from you. Just letting you know it is the best hunting knife I have ever owned and it keeps its edge beautifully. I would not part with it for all the gold in fort knox. Just thought I would give you feedback on what a good knife it is. Thanks, James"

CARE OF YOUR KNIFE

Please remember that Damascus steel has carbon steel content and the surface can rust if not properly protected. If you are using the knife please dry the blade with a clean cloth and apply oil or wax to the blade, even a thin layer of cooking oil will work to shield the steel from exposure to moisture in the air.

From Wikipedia (a quick definition)

Damascus steel , also known as Damascened steel and sometimes water steel , now commonly refers to two types of steel used in custom knife and sword making, pattern-weld and wootz (true Damascus). Both types of Damascened steel show complex patterns on the surface, which are the result of internal structural elements in the steel. These patterns are the result of the unique forging methods used for the creation of Damascened steel, and skilled sword smiths can manipulate the patterns to create complex designs in the surface of the steel.
