Crafted with care. Meant to last. Designed to be respected.
Here’s how to take care of your custom Tescher knife so it can serve you — and future generations — for years to come.
CLEAN BY HAND
Do: Wash with warm water and a mild dish soap.
Dry thoroughly with a soft towel.
Don’t: Put it in the dishwasher. Ever. High heat and harsh detergent can damage the handle, blade, and finish.
A Tescher knife is a tool, not a utensil — treat it like a firearm or a fine instrument.
KEEP IT DRY
Moisture is the enemy of any fine steel, especially Damascus.
After cleaning, always dry your knife completely.
If storing long-term, consider a light coat of food-safe mineral oil to prevent oxidation.
STORE IT SAFELY
Use a magnetic strip, knife block, or blade guard — not the drawer.
Keep it away from banging around with other metal tools.
A knife this sharp doesn’t just cut meat. It’ll slice fingers and dull fast in the wrong place.
SHARPEN REGULARLY, HONE OFTEN
Hone your knife lightly after every few uses to maintain the edge.
When it starts to dull, use a whetstone — or send it back for professional sharpening

DON'T USE IT LIKE A MULTI-TOOL
Tescher knives are strong — but they’re precision tools.
Don’t pry, twist, hammer with the blade or use as a screwdriver!
Don’t use it to cut bone, frozen food, or wire.
BONUS: DAMASCUS-SPECIFIC Tips
If your knife features Damascus steel:
Expect a light patina over time — this adds character and tells your story.
Avoid acidic foods (like citrus and tomatoes) sitting on the blade too long.
Oil the blade every few weeks for that clean, signature contrast.
YOUR KNIFE, YOUR LEGACY
When cared for well, your Tescher knife will outlive you.
It’s more than steel — it’s a piece of craftsmanship meant to be handed down.
Treat it with respect, and it’ll never let you down.
