Hi
We are really sorry to hear that you do not like your beeswax items you have purchased from us. You mention the word 'tacky' a few times and this is how the beeswax finish feels.
The beeswax finish is the most authentic finish for the bare steel. Once the blacksmiths have finished forging the items, to preserve the colour and texture from the hammer and anvil, they apply pure beeswax. This gives a subtle matt richness to the metal and offers excellent protection when the products are fitted internally and properly maintained with beeswax maintenance wax.
It sounds like the beeswax finish is just not right for you. If you have not fitted the items and would like to return them to us, it is not a problem. All of the items you have ordered are available in the Black Finish, which would probably be more suitable for you, as they have a baked on finish, which will give a different feel to the items and will require less maintenance.
We have inserted a link below to take to you to the Blacksmith Black Finishes.
If you do need to speak with us please call us on 0844 357 5654.
Kind regards
