Knife Care

• This knife is made of carbon steel and is therefore not rustproof, wipe your knife dry after each use and store it dry to avoid rust spots.
• Damascus steel is unmatched in its sharpness, but reacts to acids in food. This forms a natural patina that does not affect its performance.
• Always use a wooden cutting board. Hard surfaces such as glass, granite or metal quickly dull the knife.
• Do not use it for bone or hard materials.
• Wash the knife by hand in cold or lukewarm water and dry immediately. It is not recommended to put this knife in the dishwasher.
• Store the knife in the packaging provided.
• It is definitely recommended to oil the knife regularly to keep it in good condition. A natural oil such as olive oil is certainly sufficient to protect the knife.
• Last but not least, sharpen your knife regularly. A ceramic sharpening rod or a Japanese whetstone will certainly do the trick.
