Safety is Key
Our knives are not intended for weapon usage, but they are weapons none the less, and must be treated with the same safety and respect as would any weapon. Buyer accepts all responsibility and liability for use and/or misuse of these items. By purchasing these items, buyer is agreeing to abide by all laws that apply to his or her area regarding possession and use of bladed items. In addition, buyer is stating that he or she is at least 18 years of age or older.
Things To Remember: -A knife is a tool, not a toy. -Properly hand off the knife by presenting it to the other person handle-first. -Keep your knife sharp. A sharp knife is safer because it is less likely to slip and cut you. Knife Care:All our knives will be shipped "food-safe". They will have a light coating of olive or vegetable oil to keep the blade from rusting. If you wish to keep them food safe, never use a non-food safe oil (3-in-1, WD-40, or any other type of oil you would not use with your food) on your blade.

Sharpening a Knife:
To sharpen a knife use a sharpening stone. Sharpening stones are also known as “whetstone” or Carborundum stones.
-Place the stone on a level surface.
-Wet the stone with a little water or oil.
-Place the blade of the knife flat on the stone, then raise the back edge about the width of the blade itself, keeping the cutting edge on the stone.
-Draw the knife straight back toward you, or move it straight back and forth putting pressure on it only when you pull it toward you. This is always better than moving it in a circular fashion.
-Turn the blade over and repeat on the other side an equal number of times.
-It will take at least half an hour to sharpen a dull knife.
