How to Clean Forged Kitchen Knives — Keep Your Forged Blade Sharp & Rust-Free
Hand-forged kitchen knives from Huusk feature unique hammered textures that require gentle and correct cleaning methods.
Improper washing will cause corrosion and damage the blade surface.
Step 1: Clean immediately after use.
Rinse the blade with warm water right after cutting acidic ingredients like tomato, lemon, onion.
Do not leave food residue on the blade overnight.
Step 2: Hand wash only.
Never put forged knives in the dishwasher.
Strong detergent and high temperature inside the dishwasher will scratch the forged surface and trigger rust.
Use a soft sponge and mild dish soap to wipe both sides of the blade gently.
Step3: Dry thoroughly.
Wipe the whole blade and handle with a lint-free cotton towel immediately after rinsing.
Place it in a well-ventilated spot to fully air dry before storage.
Step4: Check for moisture.
Double-check tiny crevices on the forged surface to ensure no trapped water.
A small amount of food residue and moisture will quickly form rust spots on carbon steel forged blades.
With daily gentle cleaning, your Huusk forged knife will maintain its unique texture and cutting performance for decades.
