Questions and answers
Everything customers ask Subarnarekha Forge most. Can’t find yours? Message us.
Why does my carbon steel knife go dark?
Carbon steel reacts with acid in onions and tomatoes and forms a grey patina. It is normal and protects the blade. Wipe it dry after use and it will not rust.
Can I put the knives in a dishwasher?
No. Heat and detergent damage the wooden handle and dull the edge. Wash by hand in warm water, wipe dry and stand it in a rail or block.
How often should I sharpen?
Strop weekly if you cook daily. Use the stone every two to three months. Or send it to us: our own knives are re-sharpened free in the first year.
Do you make custom knives?
Yes, from ₹9,500. Tell us the length, shape and handle wood on WhatsApp. We send a drawing for approval; forging takes four to six weeks.
Do you ship knives safely?
Each knife ships in a sal wood sleeve inside a padded box, by tracked courier in 3–6 days. Delivery needs a signature from someone aged 18 or over.
How do I pay?
UPI, debit and credit cards, net banking and wallets through Razorpay, or cash on delivery on eligible orders.
How do I track my order?
You get a WhatsApp message with the tracking link as soon as your order ships.
Is my data safe?
We use your details only for your order or booking, never sell them, and delete them on request.
Know when the next batch is ready.
