Traditional Japanese knives require special care and attention therefore it’s useful to follow tips for use and maintenance to prevent damage.
Tips:
- It is recommended to use either wooden or plastic chopping board as no to chip blade and to preserve the sharpness of the blade. Do not use chopping boards made of hard materials such as stone, glass or ceramics.
- Give slight pressure and use a pulling motion while cutting.
- Hand wash with warm water and coat in oil after each use (to prevent rusting).
- Do not wash in a dishwasher.
- Keep the knives in a dry place, separated from other utensils, preferably in a dedicated wooden knife box.
- Blades should never touch other knives or any other hard objects.
- To prevent blades from chipping do not bend, chop or press against a hard surface that includes bread with a hard crust.
- For sharpening we recommend using Japanese sharpening stones and Camellia oil to avoid corrosion.
