Care & Maintenance
To preserve the blade's cutting performance and finish, wash the knife by hand using mild soap and warm water immediately after use. Dry thoroughly before storage and avoid dishwasher cleaning, as harsh detergents and prolonged moisture exposure can reduce the longevity of both the blade and the Pakkawood handle. Store in a knife block, magnetic strip, or protective blade guard to maintain optimal edge condition for years of reliable service.
