    Frequently Asked Questions

    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.
    Email us ASAP at support@grumpydadco.com.

    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.)
