Recommendations for Maintenance & Sharpening:
Good to know:
Japanese knives are known for retaining their sharpness for a long time, but it’s important to note: the blade is made of rusting steel, so proper care is necessary.
After use, we recommend wiping the blade and applying vegetable-based oil, and storing the knife in a dry place. If rust or other deposits form, you can use products from our Japanese steel care kit.
Each knife is unique, and its appearance may slightly differ from the one shown in the picture. The blade is hand-forged, and the handle is made of natural wood. Therefore, it might be slightly darker, lighter, or have other distinctive pattern features. This in no way affects the quality, but adds more personality to each tool.
