Usage Tips:<\/h3>\n
- \n
- The blade is quite brittle, <\/strong>a little bit less than carbon steel, but still – we don’t recommend cutting bones, frozen products, or using it as a cleaver<\/li>\n
- Don’t use on cutting boards made from hard materials like stone, glass, or ceramic. Soft plastic or wooden cutting boards work best<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Sharpening and Maintenance:<\/h3>\n
- \n
- One thing to note with the stainless steel knives – it takes a bit more work to sharpen well<\/li>\n
- For sharpening, we recommend using Japanese Water Sharpening Stones<\/a> and Leather Strops<\/a><\/li>\n
- Always wash the knife with warm water after use and dry it (dishwasher use not recommended)<\/strong><\/li>\n
- If any rust or hard to clean residue build up over time: use our Steel Care Products<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
