Carbon steel may naturally develop a **patina** over time, which is a normal characteristic of the material. Avoid leaving the blade wet or exposed to moisture for extended periods.

The wooden handle should also be kept dry and should not be soaked in water or placed in a dishwasher. Proper cleaning, drying, and storage will help maintain the knife's appearance and performance.
