Care Guide

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.

Recommended Sharpening Technique

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.
