  • This is a stainless steel knife.
  • It should be hand washed and towel dried. Dishwashers will degrade the edge and handle over time. Extended moisture exposure can still cause oxidation.
  • Use on wooden cutting boards for best results.
  • Avoid hard surfaces like bamboo or plates. Don't twist or scrape the edge on the cutting surface to avoid early dulling and edge damage.

Bread

It is a common misconception that serrated knives are unable to be sharpened. While they typically don't need sharpening as often, they will require it at some point. When the times comes, working a round diamond file a bit smaller than the serration with create a burr that can then be removed on a vanadium strop followed by a monodiachrome strop for polishing. If the serrations are very dull, putting a very low angled bevel with a progression of stones starting around 400 up to 1000 will bring them back. The bevel should only extend just past the trough of the serration.
