Thank you for choosing our unique hacksaw knife with a wrought iron blade and a wooden handle. To ensure its longevity and optimal performance, please follow these care instructions:
Knife Care Instructions for Your Hacksaw Knife
Hand Wash Only: This knife is not dishwasher safe.
Your chhuri blade is malleable and it's reinforced handle is made of wood.
Gently wash the blade and handle with warm, soapy water immediately after use. Avoid harsh abrasives that might damage the wood or blade.
Dry Thoroughly: After washing, pat the blade and handle dry with a clean cloth.
Avoid leaving the knife in a damp environment as this can promote rust.
Handle with Care: The wrought iron blade can be sharpened to a razor-sharp edge, but remember that wrought iron is malleable.
Handle the knife with care to prevent chipping or breaking. Avoid using excessive force or twisting motions.
Regular Sharpening: Maintain the sharpness of your knife by honing it regularly using a sharpening stone or honing rod.
This will ensure precise cutting and reduce the need for aggressive sharpening.
Rust Prevention: To prevent rusting, dry the blade immediately after washing and apply a thin coat of food-safe mineral oil or cooking oil to the blade before storing.
This protective layer will help repel moisture and inhibit rust formation.
Storage: Store your hacksaw knife in a dry and cool place.
Avoid storing it in a humid environment or near other metal utensils to prevent potential corrosion.
Avoid Cutting Hard Foods: Your malleable metal blade is not meant for hard foods
It’s best to avoid using it to cut extremely hard foods or bones, as this could damage the edge or even cause the blade to chip or snap.
Handle Maintenance: Keep the wooden handle clean and dry.
Occasionally apply a small amount of wood conditioner or mineral oil to maintain its natural beauty and prevent cracking.
