Caring for Your Carbon Steel Knife. After using your knife take the time to wipe off the blade with a rag or cloth. This very simple step will stop most rust from forming.

Its also important to note that finger prints can cause carbon steel to rust. Every so often put a coat of your favorite oil on the knife. It is especially important that if you use your knife in food prep that you use a food safe oil like mineral oil.

Lastly, over time you may notice your blade changing color. This is a natural process during which the steel gains a patina from normal use and age. A patina not only adds character to your knife but helps protect your carbon steel from rust which might cause pits.
