Care

• Never put in the dishwasher
• Due to the nature of carbon steel, this knife will eventually form patina. This is normal and can help prevent rust.
• To avoid rusting, dry thoroughly after hand washing in warm, soapy water. Do not put away until fully dry.
• Store away from humidity in the bamboo box provided.

Maintenance

• Use Japanese Waterstones to sharpen your knife-never on a hot grinder or belt sander. Find a reputable sharpener experienced in knives.
• We recommend a protective layer of oil *olive, vegetable, canola) on the exposed carbon steel. Apply after washing and drying.
• Any Rust should be removed immediately so it doesn't spread. Use rust cleaner for light rust, or rust eraser/fine grit sandpaper for heavier rust.
