52100 high carbon is an awesome steel alloy for kitchen knives but needs attention and care with every use. Since carbon steels can rust easily, your blade should be wiped dry after every use, never stored in a sheath. Over time, a natural "patina" colorization will develop from the oils in certain foods. This is a natural process of oxidization and is a sign of a well-used blade. This patina actually plays an important role in creating a mild protective layer, so when you see your blade turn color, thats normal. 

Our knives are not intended for, nor will they survive being put into a dishwasher! We offer a full warranty on our knives, however, damage due to negligence (rusting of blade) and or dishwasher use will require a repair fee.

Each knife is handled in our locally sourced Walnut featuring a brass bolster and brass pins or African Wenge with a Nickle-Silver bolster and pins. The cradle is handcrafted of our regionally sourced Walnut here in Virginia. Color and graining of the walnut wood for each cradle will vary greatly due to its natural nature. The knife handles and cradles are oiled with non-toxic, 0% VOC lemon based block oil.

Heirloom Walnut Box for housing set of 8 Steak Knives

$ 500.00

Made of historic locally sourced Black Walnut, these heirloom quality boxes are handcrafted by one of our fellow artisans. The lumber used, cut some 50 years ago by Zack's Grandfather comes from Pantops Estate, originally owned by Thomas Jefferson and his father Peter here in Charlottesville. 

These boxes are designed to hold 8 of our 5" Damasteel steak knives. Our steak knives are sold in sets of 4, housed in a single cradle also made of Virginia Walnut. You will need to order two sets steak knives to fill the Walnut storage box. The cradles fit snug into the box and can be arranged in any variety of ways to suit your taste.

These boxes are hand rubbed with a 0% VOC lemon based block oil. We use the same oil we use on our knife handles and cradles too, this way we know our products are safe for you. The oil should be re-applied at least once a year and stored in a dry place.  Color and graining of the Walnut wood for each box will vary greatly due to its natural nature. One thing to note is that UV light fades Walnut, unlike Cherry which darkens.

The quality stop hinges are made in the USA by Brusso.
