  • This is a reactive carbon steel knife made specifically for use in the left or right hand. Be sure to check handedness before purchase.
  • Expect oxidation (color change, staining, spotting) with use.
  • Hand wash and towel dry immediately after use. Do not use a dishwasher or air dry.
  • Remove any surface rust with a light abrasive.
  • Avoid lateral pressure or forceful use—this can damage both the edge and the ura (flat side).
  • Avoid bones to avoid damage.
  • Use only on wooden cutting boards.

Fine Single Bevel

Sharpen on whetstones starting around 1000 grit for micro-bevel work or use a full progression from 400-6000/8000 when lowering the kireba. Don't over-sharpening the ura; only work long enough to flip the burr and polish. Do not use honing rods; instead, strop for burr removal and for as-needed edge maintenance with a borachrome (medium-fine finish) or chromium (fine finish).
