Maintenance Tips and Recommendations

• Hand wash: To keep your santoku knife in optimal condition, we recommend washing it by hand with mild soap and warm water. Avoid the dishwasher to preserve the sharpness of the blade and the quality of the Damascus print for as long as possible. Dry the knife thoroughly immediately after washing.
• Regular sharpening: Regularly use a sharpening stone or honing rod to maintain the knife's sharpness. This way, you will continue to enjoy optimal performance, increased safety, and a longer lifespan.
• Storage: Proper storage of your knives in a knife block or on a magnetic strip helps prevent damage to the edge and ensures your knife is always safely within reach.
• Appropriate cutting surface: Preferably use a wooden or plastic cutting board. These surfaces are gentle on the blade and help maintain your knife's sharpness longer.
