Care & Maintenance
To preserve optimum sharpness and finish, wash the knife by hand using mild detergent and dry immediately after cleaning. Avoid dishwasher use, as harsh detergents and high heat may reduce edge longevity and affect handle integrity over time. Store the knife safely in a knife block, magnetic rack, or protective blade guard to maintain its cutting performance for years of professional service.
