Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What makes Damascus steel different from regular stainless steel in a folding knife?

A: Damascus steel is created by forge-welding multiple layers of carbon steel together, then folding and manipulating them to create distinctive wavy patterns. This layering process results in a blade rated at 58–61 HRC hardness — significantly harder and more edge-retentive than typical stainless steel blades. The XUAN FENG X201 combines this hardness with superior rust resistance, giving you a knife that stays sharp longer and looks stunning while doing it.

Q: Is this folding knife suitable for everyday fruit peeling and kitchen use?

A: Absolutely. The 7 cm blade with a blade angle greater than 60° provides a clean, precise cutting edge ideal for peeling and slicing fruit, cutting packaging, and general everyday tasks. Its compact folded size (9 cm) makes it easy to carry in a pocket or bag, and the hand-cured wooden handle provides a comfortable, secure grip during use.

Q: Can I get a custom logo engraved on the knife?

A: Yes, XUAN FENG offers custom logo marking. For orders of 5 or more knives, custom branding is available. For smaller quantities, a small processing fee applies to cover the setup of a new production run. Please contact us before placing your order to discuss customization options.

Q: How should I maintain the Damascus blade to keep it in top condition?

A: After each use, wipe the blade clean and dry it thoroughly to prevent moisture build-up. Periodically apply a thin layer of mineral oil or blade oil to the Damascus surface to protect the pattern and prevent oxidation. Avoid soaking in water or placing in a dishwasher. Regular stropping or light honing on a whetstone will keep the edge performing at its best.
