That is breathtaking!! Thank you for sharing it with us.

Given how reactive copper can be & slicing acids like citrus fruit in the kitchen, do these pieces call for extra care? Will a rinse & drying off with a cloth be enough? Thank you in advance.

Thank you buddy, I really appreciate that.

That's an excellent question. I etch all my copper damascus blades in a strong citric acid and coffee mix, what I have noticed is that the copper is not nearly as reactive to citric acid as carbon steel is.
Below is a picture of a small edc knife which I accidentally left in the citric acid for a week. It eat away alot of the steel but removed very little copper.
Now in copper pots and pans I would think that the high cooking temps combined with the acid in foods would cause more of a reaction. Heat make a huge difference to acid.
My copper damascus knives that I use at home are all cared for and maintained the same as my carbon steel knives.
I give them all a coat of camellia oil when they need it and I use a natural carnauba and beeswax mix every few months on all my knives. All blades are finished in both of these before leaving the forge.
I hope this answers you question.
