Caring for the African Blackwood Handle

This page's most-asked questions: how to care for the Wüsthof IKON Blackwood utility knife handle. Follow these steps to keep the wood stable and gorgeous for decades.

Cleaning the Blackwood Handle

• Hand wash only — never put the knife in the dishwasher; heat and detergent strip natural oils and can crack the wood.
• Wash with mild soap and warm water, wipe the handle dry immediately with a soft cloth, and never leave it soaking or resting wet on the sink edge.
• Keep the handle away from prolonged sunlight and heat sources, which dry the wood fibers.

Oiling the Blackwood Handle

• Every few months, wipe the handle with a food-safe mineral oil or a dedicated wood-handle conditioner using a lint-free cloth.
• Apply a thin coat, let it absorb for 15–20 minutes, then buff off any excess — a light sheen, not a wet film.
• In dry climates, oil more frequently. Well-maintained Blackwood deepens in color rather than drying out.
