Coaxing the Soul out of Stone, Steel & Wood

What are the terms of warranty on my Santa Fe Stoneworks collectible? Covered items are any parts proven to be defective in material or workmanship. Warranty term is as long as you own the product! Specifically excluded are problems due to misuse or abuse. To return defective cutlery, contact us at Wooska.com and ask for return or repair instructions. Do all your products have custom handles on both sides? No, for affordability, all handles are one-sided unless otherwise specified. Most models can be double sided, for a reasonable 30-50% per-unit markup. Remember that our handles are painstakingly made by hand with the human touch, never created by machines in large factories. How do I sharpen my knife? Use a good, medium/fine stone or steel, moistened with light oil. Be sure to maintain the same angle for each stroke (we recommend a 20° angle for a good, general-purpose edge). Count your honing strokes; then turn the blade over and hone with an equal number of strokes. Start strokes with heavy pressure, then ease off to a lighter pressure and finish with a light stroke -- both sides. NOTE: Never use a power-driven grinding wheel to sharpen your knife. This can heat the blade to the point where its temper (a hardening process accomplished by heating and quenching) is damaged. SERRATED MODELS: To sharpen a serrated blade (such as those found on our Spyderco® knives), it will be necessary to buy a sharpener designed specifically for this purpose. This you can buy through us or through any reputable cutlery shop. Be sure to ask for a sharpener made specifically for serrated blades! Is my cutlery dishwasher-safe? NO. We do not encourage subjecting your cutlery to extremes of heat or long-term exposure to agitated water. Don't leave any pieces soaking in dish water for extended periods of time. Don't use scouring pads, cleansers, or any other abrasive product, as they may permanently mar the finish. How can I extend the useful life of my pocket knife? An occasional drop of oil on the moving parts of a knife will ensure easier opening and closing, prevent rust, and lessen wear. Avoid getting sand, grit, lint, or other foreign particles in the mechanism. Keep blades clean and dry, and wipe clean with an oil-moistened cloth to prevent rust. How can I extend the useful life of my tableware and kitchen cutlery? When not in use, keep your cutlery in the gift box in which it came. After use, wash the blade with soap and water, wipe down the handle with a soft cloth, and dry the piece before putting it away. Occasionally, wipe down the handle with a good quality, liquid furniture polish to maintain its luster. How do I close my lockback folding knife? (Figure 1.) With thumb of right hand, press down on lock lever. With left hand press blade down slightly. (Figure 2.) Remove thumb from lock and grasp handle on both sides, making certain fingers are NOT curled around bottom of knife handle. Press blade down remainder of way to its closed position. What else can I do with my knife? Your knife was designed to cut and NOT to be used as a heavy duty tool. DO NOT use your knife as a hammer, pry bar, screw driver, or for any other task than that intended (or you may void the warranty!).
