Care & Maintenance
Hand wash the knife with warm water, mild detergent, and a non-abrasive sponge after each use. Dry it immediately before storage to help preserve the blade, edge, and handle materials. Do not place the knife in a dishwasher, as prolonged exposure to high heat, moisture, and aggressive detergents may affect its finish and cutting performance.
