How to care for carbon steel knives
Hand wash & dry
Rinse and dry your knife completely after each use. Avoid dishwashers, prolonged soaking, or leaving the blade wet.
Occasional oiling
Apply blade oil periodically, especially before long-term storage. Camellia oil or food-grade mineral oil is recommended.
Wood handle care
Treat the handle as you would a fine wooden cutting board—avoid soaking and apply handle wax once or twice a month.
Embrace the patina
Over time, carbon steel naturally develops a patina that reflects how you cook and what you prepare. This evolving character is part of the knife’s heirloom quality and a sign of a well-loved tool.
Designed for long-term ownership
STEELPORT knives are intentionally crafted to age with grace. With minimal, mindful care, they reward their owners with performance, beauty, and a personal story etched into the steel.

Super nice presentation and the instructions are easy to follow. Would be an awesome gift for anyone who owns an expensive knife.
I got this to give it a try. I sharpener my knives with a stone already and I use a wood conditioner for my knives with wooden handles. This product enhances what I already do. The oil is nice way to finish knife care. It takes away dullness and gives the blade a nice shine. The wax gives luster to the wooden handle.
Excellent product for keeping your knives is top shape! Nicely packaged and shipped fast!
Got this for my husband who does the cooking because I’m just terrible at it, and he took it upon himself to learn while locked down for COVID. We just got a set of really nice knives, and this is the perfect set for keeping them in good condition. Very pleased and would recommend.
I have a collection Miyabi Japanese knives that all have birchwood handles that are prone to getting dry after some time. I have never used the oil before, but I have used waxes before and makes a big difference in the feel and the quality of the blade. Instructions are straightforward and its easy to apply, and that little bit of time spent working on them provides long time protection. I like the quantity and this kit makes it easy to care for knives and keep them in good condition for a lifetime of use.

This is the first knife product I've owned that includes handle care. The set is simple but a nice addition to my knife care routine. Good maintenance is worth the price.
Anyone who owns a good set of knives knows how important it is to take care of them so they last. With this set it makes it easy. With easy to follow instructions it is so easy to use and my knives look beautiful and shiny. There is also no strong odor. I would definatly recommend this set to anyone looking to take good care of and extend the life of their knives.
The handle wax looks a lot like cutting board wax, but it did a better job on my wood handles than the board wax. Follow the directions, and just a dab will do ya. The little tin is probably good for 50 applications if your handles aren't dry and / or huge. Rub it in good, let it set, then buff it off. Nice luster and feels smooth, but not greasy or slippery- a slippery handle would be a very bad thing.The spray oil, food safe, works well. No odor. Thin enough to wipe most of it off after application, but it leaves a nice shine that tells me it's protecting the steel. I applied it to a very old carbon steel blade and it gave it a nice sheen, the knife is sort of a special occasion thing so it's good to put something on it before storage as it might sit in the block for months at a time.
if you own high end kitchen knives....well, u should take care of them, the do benefit from maint.The oil provided, is the best oil for metal preservation and rust prevention, I use the same on my ww tools for decades.the wax is a excellent, and will preserve nice wood handles, as we all know, water and wood do NOT mix, and while most handles hold up well, in due time, any finish wears off after use... simple to apply, and a small price to pay to maintain your nice knives, recommended, 4.5 stars
Great gift for my husband who has everything! Loved the surprised look on his face. He said it works well, too!
I made the investment in a quality knife in the kitchen and it has been life changing. However, I've been personally concerned about keeping the blade in good shape for as long as possible. This is an excellent way to maintain both the handle and the blade together. It may not seem like you get a lot, but like applying wax to your car, less is more. Just a thin and even layer is enough. Any more than that, you're wasting product and adds no additional value. You're giving yourself more work.
I have two high quality knives and these kit is great for oiling the steel and waxing the handle. I tested it out on my 9" chef knife and brought a freshness back to my knife I hadn't seen since I bought. It looks sharp oiled and waxed. Simple to follow instructions and quality material. Keep your high quality knives in great shape with this. I would recommend.
