Principles of Tool Care

Sharpening and Service
To maintain the precision edge of DC53 steel, we recommend diamond sharpening stones. If you are unsure of your skills, entrust the knife to our service. We also organize popular sharpening courses where we will teach you how to care for these exceptional materials.

Blade Maintenance:
DC53 steel is not 100% stainless, so aggressive substances can leave marks. For cleaning, we recommend a soft cloth and baking soda in case of heavy soiling. Avoid abrasive steel wool.|
