 Safety Tips 

ALWAYS - keep your knife in a sheath and when wearing it on your belt. Keep it well back on your thigh so it will not interfere when sitting or kneeling.

ALWAYS - clean and dry your knife after every use. A safe way is to lay the knife blade on a flat surface and wipe one side then the other. Soaking knives in water or in a sink damages the wooden handles and could prove dangerous hidden under suds. Boiled linseed oil applied to dried rosewood handles helps their appearance. 

ALWAYS - Keep your knife sharp as a dull knife can be more dangerous to use. Every knife needs sharpening from time to time and after years of cutting all knives need to be reground either by us or someone experienced. Your butcher may suggest someone. 

ALWAYS - keep your carbon steel outdoor knives clean, dried and oiled to prevent rusting. 

ALWAYS - take care to fully open sheaths before removing knife to prevent cutting the sheath and occasionally oil the leather to keep it pliable if you wish. 

ALWAYS - keep your knives stored safely and out of reach of small children and teach your family how to use and respect knives. Safety begins first at home. 
 

Taking Care of Your DH Russell / Grohmann Knives

The number one thing to remember is each knife has been designed for a different purpose. Our knives are made with high quality materials to bring you a fine cutting tool. Our steels are ideal for edge retention and ease of sharpening. The high carbon content of our knives to maintain a sharp edge without rusting. Because even stain-less steels can sometimes stain due to certain food acids, it is a good practice to wipe your knives after every use. Carbon steel outdoor knives must be kept cleaned & oiled at all times when not in use to avoid corrosion. Carbon rusts, this the the nature of carbon steel and knives returned due to the corrosion are not covered under warranty, but can be usually be repaired/reconditioned for a minimal fee.

A safe way to clean your knives is to lay the knife blade on a flat surface and wipe one side then the other. Soaking knives in the sink damages the natural wooden handles and could prove dangerous while they are hidden under suds.

Wooden knife blocks and cutting boards are recommended for extending your knife edge. Glass or other hard cutting boards and surfaces will dull knives faster.  Serrated edges will generally stay sharper than straight edge knives.

Dishwashers, outside of damaging wooden handles, also dull blades faster than normal use because of the hitting action against other cutlery, etc. during wash cycles. We suggest a sharpening steel or ceramic sharpener to keep kitchen knives their best and use a wet stone to sharpen your Grohmann outdoor & pocket knives. 
 Kitchen knives should be kept in a plastic sleeve or knife block and outdoor knives in their leather sheaths for proper care. 

Tung oil or boiled Linseed oil applied to dried rosewood handles helps their appearance.

Care should be taken to fully open sheaths before removing the knife. This prevents cutting of the sheath. Sheaths that are cut or damaged are not covered by warranty, only sheaths with manufacturer's defects, ie stitching or riveting. Also, the leather may be oiled occasionally to keep it pliable with Neet's oil or a good quality leather conditioner oil. 

REMEMBER to be good to your DH RUSSELL KNIFE and you will have a fine product that will serve you long and well!
 

How To Sharpen your Knives at Home

For those who prefer to do their own sharpening, you can refer to the Grohmann Professional Sharpening Tips that comes with each knife on the back of your Lifetime Limited Warranty sheet. Our knives have a high carbon content, so are not difficult to resharpen. You can use a purchased sharpening system, most work well with a 20-30 degree angle on both sides of the blade (other than the left or right handed bread knives, all of our knives are sharpened on both sides equally).  We do not recommend most sharpeners on the backs of can openers etc as they tend to eat a lot of steel off your blades. Some 'built in' sharpeners that come with knife blocks also tend to actually dull up the steel after they wear out. The following are some quick tips we suggest.

Straight edge blade - Using a Combination Stone

Use a high grade combination stone and a low flashpoint petroleum product (e.g.. varsol) to keep the stone clean and lubricated. Many oils on the market, even though they claim to be thin, still tend to clog the pores in a stone overtime. Do this in a well ventilated area and be sure to clean your knife afterwards to remove all lubricant and shavings. 

Hold the blade on a 20-30 degree angle from the stone on the medium grit side first. Starting where the blade meets the handle, using a medium pressure, draw the entire length of the blade across the stone as if taking a thin slice off the stone. Alternate sides evenly until sharp.

Then repeat 3-5 strokes on each side on the fine grit side of the stone to remove any burr. 

Straight edge -Using a Sharpening Steel or Stick

Sharpening steels or ceramic sticks are ideal for touch-ups just before use. They are not recommended for a very dull/thick blade, use a combination stone instead.  When touching up on a sharpening steel or ceramic stick, lay the blade flat against the steel, then while keeping the edge against it, lean the top of the blade out approx 20-30 degree angle from the steel. Starting at the base of the blade (closest to the handle), draw the blade down along the edge right to the tip. Since Grohmann straight edge knives have the same bevel on both sides of the blade (makes the knife great for both left or right handed use) repeat this on the other side of the steel as well. Continue drawing the knife down on both sides equally until sharp.
