Caring for Micarta, brass and Damascus
Micarta is one of the easiest handle materials to look after, so most of the attention goes to the blade:
- Wash the dark Micarta handle with warm soapy water when needed; it does not swell or crack like wood.
- Keep solvents and harsh cleaners away from the two gem-accent medallions, which could lose their colour.
- Dry the 24.5 cm Damascus blade fully after use and wipe on a thin film of oil.
- Polish the brass guard with a soft cloth, keeping polish off the etched steel.
- Use the leather case for travel and store the knife outside it.
Of the Pakistan Damascus knives for sale in this range, it has the handle that copes best with outdoor damp.
