Usage Tips:<\/h3>\n
- \n
- Like all high-hardness carbon steel knives, this<\/strong> blade is brittle<\/strong>, so don’t cut bones or frozen foods, and never use them 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
- 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
- Like all high carbon steel tools – the blade is prone to rusting<\/strong>. After washing and drying the knife, coat it with camellia oil and store in a dry place<\/li>\n
- If rust or hard to clean residue builds up: use our Steel Care Products<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
