Knife care rules Never wash the knife in the dishwasher. After use, wash the knife by hand and dry it immediately. Avoid prying with the blades.

Sharpening and maintenance of the Japanese knife

For maintaining extreme sharpness, we recommend whetstones. Carbon steel requires care – after use, clean the knife and lightly coat the blade with oil to prevent surface oxidation.

Knife cleaning: If stains resembling rust appear on the blade, they are usually particles from aggressive substances adhering to the surface. A fine paste of baking soda and a cork can be used for removal.
