Care Instructions

Knife care for carbon steel stainless clad knives

  • Never put in the dishwasher.
  • The knife is clad in stainless steel to protect against rust however the exposed carbon steel core (at the cutting edge) is susceptible to rust.
  • Do not leave wet overnight or the knife may rust. Dry thoroughly after washing and do not store unless fully dry.
  • A grey/black patina will form on the edge. This is totally normal for carbon steel and aids in protecting against rust.
  • Do not cut through bones, frozen foods or extremely dense items.
  • Always cut with a smooth action and never twist the blade, sideways pressure will damage the blade.
  • Use Japanese waterstones to sharpen your knife.
  • We highly recommend camellia oil and rust cleaner for maintenance.
