After every use or handling, the blade must be wiped clean with a soft cloth to remove the oils of the skin. We strictly forbid the touch of water; should the blade grow damp, dry it at once with a warrior's haste. Apply a light coat of protective Choji oil or mineral oil every few weeks to keep the Damascus pattern clear and the edge keen. Store your steel in a dry place, safely within its wooden Saya, so that its spirit remains untarnished until the horn sounds for battle.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Valorium Forge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47906142945539,"sku":"404426043033","price":1890.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/0563\/4051\/files\/s-l1600_c11390c2-9b7e-4170-a8af-73de9073181c.webp?v=1775762691","url":"https:\/\/valoriumforge.com\/products\/the-serpent-s-coil-damascus-folded-steel-samurai-katana","provider":"Valorium Forge","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
