Product notes
Please note that each handle is unique and may exhibit distinct variations, such as differences in the hue or color of the buffalo horn, which is part of its authentic, handcrafted character.
Warranty
Each knife is covered by a lifetime guarantee against obvious manufacturing defects. For example, if the handle comes loose or cracks after a few weeks of proper use, or if the blade develops a crack along the cutting edge or blade spine. These issues are rare, but they can occur. In such cases, we will offer you a replacement with the same product or a refund. As every case is different, it is at our discretion to assess whether our lifetime guarantee against obvious manufacturing defects applies.
After-sales service
Is your knife not cutting as well as you expected? Each knife comes with what we call its "original sharpening." We have over 200 different products in stock, often with multiple copies of each. All our products are handcrafted in Japan before being shipped, and the "original sharpening" may vary. If you think your knife is not cutting to its full potential, please feel free to contact us and we will take care of it by sharpening the knife free of charge!
Oops, did an accident happen to your blade?
Did your knife fall on the floor, get damaged during a slip, or was it used to cut something too hard? We’ll take care of it and support both you and your knife by offering an in-store sharpening and repair service!
Feel free to contact us or stop by the store to get an estimate in just a few minutes!

ACCESSORIES RECOMMENDED BY OUR EXPERTS
BLADE MATERIALS
At StaySharpMTL, we exclusively use high-performance materials to manufacture our blades, ensuring durability, sharpness, and precision. Our main range is made of high-carbon stainless steel, chosen for its excellent edge retention and rust resistance, ideal for everyday use in both the kitchen and the workshop. For those seeking a premium look and feel, our Damascus steel combines multiple layers of forged steel to create blades that are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also incredibly strong and flexible. We also offer certain models with a ceramic coating, which provides a smooth and ultra-durable surface to reduce friction and increase wear resistance. Each blade material is selected for its unique performance, thus ensuring an option suited to every user.
BLADE DIMENSIONS
StaySharpMTL blades are available in a range of sizes and profiles to suit different applications. Our most common lengths include 100 mm blades for compact or on-the-go use, 150 mm for general tasks, and 200 mm for more intensive work. In terms of blade width, we offer options such as 20 mm convex edges, ideal for fine tools and razors, and 25 mm flat edges, ideal for chef's knives and utility blades. Blade thickness also varies: from 0.5 mm for extra-fine edges to 1.2 mm for more robust cutting needs, thus giving users the option to choose the blade best suited to their sharpening needs and cutting style.
Intended use
StaySharpMTL blades are designed to meet a variety of needs. Our 150 mm stainless steel blades are ideal for everyday kitchen tasks, offering the perfect balance of sharpness and durability. For on-the-go use, the 100 mm Damascus steel or stainless steel blades are suitable for travel, pocket knives, and outdoor equipment. For heavy-duty or professional work, the 200 mm Damascus steel or ceramic-coated blades offer exceptional strength and edge retention, perfect for woodworking tools and workshop applications.
MAINTENANCE & REPAIR
To keep your blade in perfect condition, rinse and dry it after each use; never leave it damp. For high-carbon steel or Damascus steel blades, apply a thin layer of mineral oil to prevent rust. Ceramic-coated blades should be gently cleaned with soap and a soft cloth. Sharpen them as needed, wipe them down after sharpening, and store them in a dry place in a case or sheath. For Damascus steel, annual oiling and light polishing help preserve its beauty and performance.
