Are your knives handmade?
Yes. Hand-forged in Brazil or Argentina using high-carbon or stainless steel, with hardwood or bone handles.
Do the knives come sharpened?
Yes. Hand-sharpened and honed before shipping. Arrive razor-sharp. Handle with care.
My knife has some rust or patina. Is this normal?
Yes. High-carbon steel may develop rust/patina during transit. This is normal and removable. Over time a protective patina forms.
How do I maintain the sharpness and prevent rust?
Hand wash, dry immediately, oil high-carbon steel, store dry, hone/sharpen as needed. Local butchers often offer sharpening.
Can I put my knives in the dishwasher?
No. Dishwasher damages blades, handles, and finish. Always hand wash and dry.
Do you offer custom knife work?
No. Large specific orders possible with notice.
