KWB Iron-Guard

Finally the protection handmade knives deserve! Complete corrosion protection and unparalleled durability. KWB Iron-Guard is 100% food safe, approved by the FDA, easy to apply and lasts up to a year with daily use. I expect this first batch will sell out quick, so be sure to get some while you can. 

KWB Iron-Guard:

• Corrosion resistance - The coating creates a perfectly sealed surface impervious to moisture and acidic juice which can rust carbon steel and damage surface finishes.
• Durability - Not only is this coating far more permanent than oil or wax, but it actually increases the surface hardness of the material coated, creating long term protection from corrosion, even preventing scratching and increasing edge retention.
• Non stick - The surface feels almost silky to the touch, with far less friction and hydrophobic properties, your knives and tools will perform better and be easier to clean.
• FDA Food safe - The coating bonds directly to the surface on a molecular level, unlike any other coating we've come across. This makes it incredibly durable, non reactive and completely safe for food preparation *once cleaned.

Instructions: 

• You will need a clean well ventilated work area, and disposable gloves.
• Thoroughly clean the surface.
• Clean again with the surface prep cleaning solution (see drop down options) on a paper towel or lint free cloth - our cleaning solution actively removes moisture from the surface as well as contaminants leaving behind a perfectly prepped surface.
• Apply the coating - soak a small piece of cloth or one of the included application pads, it should be thoroughly saturated, but not dripping. Being very careful of any sharp edges, begin to coat the steel. The coating may seem to evaporate quickly at first, this is the liquid soaking in and reacting with the surface. Keep applying until you're left with an even wet surface, finishing with long even stokes.
• Touch dry in 25 minutes.
• Minimum bonding time of 12 hours although 24 is recommended, and longer will increase durability.
• Heat. This coating is perfect for knives and cutting tools and for that, warming with a hair dryer will be sufficient. Higher temperatures will produce slightly higher durability. The coating is safe for up to 600c but please check the temperature rating of your item - cutting tools should be kept below 150c, and most handle materials shouldn't be heated beyond what's comfortable to touch. 
• Rinse thoroughly with water to cure/neutralist the coating, and wash away any left over spirit residue. 
• For kitchen knives we recommend cleaning again with dish soap before use, although this may not be necessary. 

Photos are just for show, the bottles will be blank for now as we are still working on labels. If you'd like to reserve one now and wait for the labels to be finished before shipping that is fine, just let us know after you place the order.
