Knife Care

Western Mtn Knives are made from 1095 high carbon steel. Unlike stainless steel, your carbon steel knife will rust if not properly cared for.

The most important thing is to keep your knife dry. You can wash it with soap and water but be sure to completely dry it afterwards.

After some time and use, your knife will start to get a dull grey patina. The  patina will add character and help prevent rust.

Periodically, apply a light coat of oil of your choice to your knife to keep it in tip, top shape.

If your knife does acquire rust spots, scrub with steel wool and apply oil.

Enjoy your Western Mtn. knife and stay sharp!
