HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR KNIFE
Handle Japanese knives carefully - the steel is brittle. Don’t cut bones, don’t use on hard surfaces, don’t chuck them about and don’t put them in the dishwasher.
- Hand wash
- Avoid soaking - especially the traditional style knives, as it expands the wooden handles
- Dry thoroughly
- Store individually
- Wipe over with Camellia Oil if not using regularly
- Sharpen every two weeks or so of regular use
