Care & Maintenance
To preserve optimal edge performance and extend the life of the knife, hand wash with mild soap and warm water immediately after use, then dry thoroughly before storage. Regular honing helps maintain peak cutting performance, while occasional professional sharpening restores the factory edge when needed. Although constructed from highly corrosion resistant stainless steel, hand washing is recommended to protect both the cutting edge and handle finish over years of professional use.
