Care and Use Instructions

• Suitable for use on fish, meats and vegetables.
• Only use natural wood or plastic cutting boards. Never use stone, glass or other rigid cutting surfaces.
• Hand wash with warm soapy water, rinse clean and dry after each use.
• Always apply a small amount of oil after each use. We recommend Tsubaki oil (Japanese Camellia Oil) which has been used for centuries by Japanese knife makers to protect all types of steel.
• Avoid prolonged immersion in liquids (water, solvents, etc).
• Do not clean in the dishwasher.
• Sharpen using a whetstone or a quality knife sharpener.
• Store your knife in a dry place (out of the sheath).
• As a minimum, wipe the blade with oil, 3 to 4 times a year to stop rust forming (more often if near water).
• Given the right conditions, any steel can rust. If you are in a humid climate or coastal region it is important to keep your knife's blade protected with a quality knife oil.
