World’s Okayest Dad – White Ceramic Mug

Q: How do I take care of my knife so it lasts longer than my in-laws’ opinions?
Glad you asked. We offer three types of knives, and each has its own maintenance needs. Here’s the breakdown:

1. Japanese Steel Knives (Yoshida Hamono – Aogami #2)

• Dry immediately after use. These are high-carbon beauties—tough, sharp, but not fans of moisture.

   

• Hand-wash only. No dishwashers. Ever. Seriously.

   

• Use a wooden or end-grain cutting board to preserve that razor edge.

   

• Oil the blade lightly with food-grade mineral oil if storing for long periods.

   

2. Damascus Steel Knives (Grumpy Dad Fruit Knife)

• Treat them like the fine tools they are: hand-wash, dry, and store safely.

   

• Damascus needs a bit more TLC—occasional oiling helps keep rust at bay.

   

• Avoid frozen foods or bone—these are precision cutters, not axes.

   

3. X50CrMoV15 Steel Knives (Grumpy Dad Butcher Knife)

• More rugged, less needy—but don’t get cocky.

   

• Hand-wash and dry. Dishwasher safe in theory, but we don’t recommend it.

   

• Perfect for meat-lovers—full-tang and heavy-duty, but still deserves respect.

   

Q: How should I sharpen my knives without ruining them (or my countertop)?

• Japanese & Damascus knives: Use a whetstone. Start with 1000 grit and move to 3000+ for polishing. Honing rods are fine between sharpening sessions.

   

• X50 Steel (Butcher Knife): Can be sharpened with a whetstone, ceramic rod, or even a pull-through sharpener if you’re in a rush (though not our top pick).
• Frequency? About every 3–6 months depending on use. When it starts squishing tomatoes instead of slicing—time to sharpen.

Q: How long does shipping take?

• Knives: 3–5 business days
• Shirts, mugs, and other gear: 5–7 business days
  Because good things (and grumpiness) take time.

   

Q: Do you offer free returns?
Absolutely. We offer 30-day free returns, no questions asked.
Just cover the return shipping, and we’ll handle the rest.

Q: Where do you ship to?
Currently, we ship to the USA only. Working on global domination… one grumpy dad at a time.

Q: What sizes do your shirts come in?
Our tees run from S to 3XL. They’re pre-shrunk and fit true to size, unless you’ve been lifting toddlers all day—then maybe size up.

Q: Are your mugs dishwasher and microwave safe?
Yes, unless you live dangerously and microwave metal (don’t).
Our mugs are dishwasher-safe, lead-free, and ready to fuel your grumpiness.

Q: Can I change or cancel my order?
If it hasn’t shipped, we’ll do our best to catch it.

Q: Is this a good gift for Father’s Day?
Is bacon a good breakfast?
Yes. Grumpy Dad Co. gear is made to be gifted—to dads, stepdads, and honorary dads everywhere.

Q: Do you include gift messages?
Sure thing. Just add a note at checkout, and we’ll include it.
(No judgment on your dad joke game… well, maybe a little.)
