Maintenance and recommendations
Before first use, rinse the knife with hot water. Clean the blade after each use with a mild detergent and dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth. Rinse acidic foods immediately to prevent corrosion.
Always wash the knife by hand, as a dishwasher can damage the material. Keep the wooden handle in optimum condition by occasionally oiling it with neutral vegetable oil or Camellia oil. Professional sharpening is recommended to maintain sharpness and durability. Use a traditional whetstone or an electric sharpening system from our range.
