  • 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.

Medium - Western Stainless

We recommend hand sharpening on whetstones to a low-medium finish starting around 400 and progressing to 1000 grit with a monodiachrome strop finish. Gentle use with steel honing rods work well for as-needed edge maintenance. Avoid pull-through sharpeners and non-water-cooled mechanized sharpening. If you have to use a honing rod to be able to use the knife comfortably, it's time to sharpen the knife.
