Knife Care
Hand-wash your knife after each use, immediately dry, then oil with a food grade oil (blade and handle). This will help prevent rust on the blade and protect the handle materials. Never leave your knife sitting in a wet sink.
Do not wash in dishwasher.
Store knife in a universal knife block, magnetic bar or in a plastic edge guard. Do not store loose in a drawer.
Routine maintenance is essential to keeping your knife in top condition.
Over time your knife will develop a thin coating, called a patina, which is caused by the reaction between the metal, the foods you are cutting and the surrounding air. Each patina is unique and is a good thing. It will help protect your knife from unnecessary corrosion.
