Care and Maintenance

Proper care is essential to preserve the performance, beauty, and longevity of your handmade knife. Follow these expert care and maintenance tips to keep your blade in peak condition:

1. Safe Handling

Always handle your knife with caution—Japanese blades are exceptionally sharp.
Be mindful of your fingers during use and avoid direct contact with the edge.
Store your knife out of reach of children to prevent accidental injury.

2. Use Only for Cooking Tasks

Use your knife exclusively for food preparation.
Avoid cutting bones, frozen foods, or using it to open cans or packages, which can damage the edge or chip the blade.

3. Cleaning Your Knife

Hand wash the knife immediately after each use with warm water and mild dish soap.
Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive sponges, or put it in the dishwasher.
Gently clean both sides of the blade and handle.
Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap and residue.

4. Drying Immediately

Dry the knife right after washing to prevent rust and moisture damage.
Use a soft, clean towel to wipe the blade and handle completely dry—ensure no water spots remain.

5. Proper Storage

Store your knife in a dry place, away from humidity and moisture.
Use a blade guard, knife sheath, or dedicated knife block to protect both the edge and your hands when retrieving or storing it.

6. Sharpening and Honing

Re-sharpen your knife regularly—ideally once or twice a month, depending on use.
Use a whetstone or honing rod appropriate for high-quality kitchen knives.
If you’re unsure about sharpening technique, consult a professional or follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.
