Care for fully carbon steel knives

• To maintain the edge, we recommend the usage of a Ceramic Honing Rod. Which can be purchased at 50% off with any knife purchase.
• Wash and dry the blade by hand immediately after use. Dishwashers are very bad for all knives.
• This knife fully carbon steel, meaning the whole blade can rust. Over time a patina will form protecting the knife. To help prevent this, you can oil your blade with Camellia Oil after use.
• Use a soft cloth to wash the blade. Avoid abrasive dish scrubbers and powders as these can damage the finish of your beautiful knife.
• Do not cut through bones. You can certainly cut along/beside bones, but do not cut into bones. This can, at worst, chip the blade.
• Never use this knife to cut frozen food. I’m sure you have a 4×4 somewhere in your kitchen for this job.
• Never twist, cleave or prise the blade.
• Always use a wooden or plastic cutting board. Never cut on bamboo, glass, marble, slate, a plate, china, marble, arborite or anything harder than steel.
• Store knives in a way that the blades will not knock into each other.
• Never transport knives unprotected.
