Traditional Care for Working Knives

Our Heritage Balm is the same knife care blend we use and include with every custom Ten Tines Legacy Knife.

Handmade in small batches by us, this balm is a simple, effective mix of natural beeswax and food-grade mineral oil, designed to protect carbon steel blades and condition wood or synthetic handles without altering their feel.

No fillers.
No silicone.
No artificial fragrances.

Just traditional care, done right.

What It’s For

• Protecting carbon steel blades from moisture and surface oxidation

• Conditioning wood handles to prevent drying or cracking

• Adding a light protective layer for long-term storage or seasonal use

• Maintaining knives that are meant to be used, not shelved

This balm leaves a dry-to-the-touch, non-greasy finish when applied correctly.

How to Use

1. Clean and dry the blade and handle

2. Apply a small amount of balm using a cloth or your fingers

3. Work it evenly into the steel and handle material

4. Let it sit for a few minutes

5. Buff lightly with a clean cloth

Use after cleaning, before storage, or anytime the blade or handle looks dry.

A little goes a long way.

Built for the Same Reason as Our Knives

We created this balm for the same reason we make our knives:

To support tools that are meant to be carried, used, cared for, and passed down.

This is the kind of simple maintenance that keeps a working knife looking good and performing well for decades.
