Care Instructions
This knife is made of carbon steel and when properly cared for, can last for decades. Sharpen by hand on a whetstone every two to three years depending on use; avoid hard surfaces; hand-wash (no dishwasher/soaking), dry completely, and lightly oil the blade. If rust forms, use a baking-soda paste and soft cloth/toothbrush; avoid foil or steel wool; wash with dish soap and dry well.
