5 out of 5 starsThis is by far the nicest kitchen knife I have ever used. It feels great in my hand, it is very sharp. It would also make a great gift for anyone who likes to cook.

5 out of 5 starsI am so happy with this purchase. It's not often I find the perfect gift for my husband. But this pocket knife is just that. It's engraved with his full name & the halt is his favorite color. And the blade is the very definition of quality. That's coming from someone raised on a boat in South Texas. I know knots & knives. There was a slight miscommunication with Etsy but the shop was very responsive & I got the perfect Valentine's gift for my husband. My only issue is waiting til the day to see him open it. And the possibility that my gift from him might be a can of Coke.

Care instructions
1085 high carbon and damascus steel will hold an edge very well, but they are not stainless steel. It may take on color with lots of use, and should be dried and oiled, if possible, to prevent rust. If you do get some rust, I prefer giving it a quick rub with a very fine (0000) steel wool and it usually easily takes care of it without scratching the metal.
You can use WD40 or rust remover, just be sure to clean the blade thoroughly before use, especially if using it for food.
The key is keeping it dry. Any moisture that sits on the metal will cause rust. That being said, I've had some in my drawer for years with no issues!
I wouldn't go chipping away at rocks, but they're pretty tough and should last you a long time!
Wedding Party / Corporate Gifts
Everything you see in the listings is in stock, but we may not have the quantity you need. Send me a note with any questions.
For large custom orders:
These are usually orders of 10+, and you can go full custom. We can do almost any amount given enough time.
You can engrave names or logos on the handles. You can replace my AIM logo with your own etched into the blade, or we can make a custom metal stamp of your logo for the leather sheaths.
Just remember, these are custom made and hand crafted, so we need months, not weeks. The more customized, the more time we need! They look ridiculously awesome, so bring it on!
Custom and personalized orders
Yes.
Oh, you want to know more? Just send me a note to discuss your ideas!
Notes:
-ENGRAVING goes on the wood handles. It's a laser engraver, so burning the image in. It can do fairly detailed images, even your drawn pictures and handwriting. Be creative! Engraving has a quick turn around.
-ETCHING goes on the metal. It looks great on the polished metal, but can be hard to see on the damascus. This needs to be less detailed. Think words, numbers, basic designs. WE ONLY DO THIS FOR LARGE ORDERS (10+). This takes time.
We will do full custom jobs for larger orders, including blade designs, handle materials, custom deep etched logos (instead of the AIM), custom leather stamps on the sheath, etc. Your gifts can be awesome!
