Care instructions

This is a high-carbon steel knife, not stainless steel.

To preserve the blade:

• Dry immediately after use
• Do not leave wet or dirty
• Do not wash in dishwasher
• Avoid acidic foods sitting on the blade for long periods
• Apply a light coat of camellia oil if storing for extended periods
• Sharpen with Japanese whetstones

A natural patina may develop with use. This is normal for carbon steel and can help protect the blade over time.
