Frequently asked questions
What is scrimshaw?
Scrimshaw is decorative artwork engraved or etched into a bone, horn or similar handle and filled with ink. It makes each knife a collectible piece as well as a working tool.
Is this real Damascus steel?
Damascus steel is made by forge-welding layers of steel together and etching the blade so the layers show as a pattern. Because the pattern runs through the steel, it stays visible after the knife is sharpened, unlike a printed or laser-etched pattern.
Will a Damascus knife rust?
It can. Most Damascus steel is high carbon, so wipe the blade clean and dry after use and add a thin coat of oil. Don't store it wet or in a damp leather sheath.
Is it a good gift?
Yes. It's a popular gift for birthdays, groomsmen, Father's Day and the holidays, and pocket knives can be engraved with a name, initials or a short message of up to 25 characters.
Is shipping free, and can I return it?
Yes. Shipping and returns are free on orders over $50, and unused items in their original condition can be returned within 30 days under our refund policy.
