Is this real Damascus steel?
Yes. The blade is made of many layers of steel forged around a hard core. That layering is what creates the pattern you see.
Will the pattern fade or wash off?
No. The pattern comes from the layers of steel themselves, not from a print or coating. Washing by hand and drying right away keeps it crisp.
Will my knife look exactly like the photos?
Close, but not exactly. Every blade is one of one, so the pattern and handle on yours will differ slightly from the photos. That is the point.
Can it go in the dishwasher?
No. Wash it by hand with warm water and a little soap, then dry it right away. The dishwasher dulls the edge and can damage the handle.
How often should I sharpen it?
Hone it every week with a few strokes on a honing rod. Sharpen it every few months, when honing stops helping, on a whetstone or with our resharpening service.
Can I use it on bones or frozen food?
No. Bones and frozen food can chip a fine edge. For bones and heavy meat work, use the Butcher Knife.
Can I send it as a gift?
Yes. Every order arrives in the Sekeen box with tissue and a care card, so no wrapping is needed. Add a gift note at checkout.
What if I want to return it?
If it arrives damaged or faulty, we replace or refund it free. An unused item in its sealed box can be returned within 14 days of delivery. Engraved knives cannot be returned unless faulty. Email info@sekeen.com to start.
