Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this knife arrives sharp, it is ready for immediate use upon unboxing. To ensure the longest possible lifespan, avoid using the knife on glass, ceramic, or stone cutting boards, as these surfaces can dull the edge rapidly; instead, use wood or high-density plastic boards.
Care instructions include:
- Cleaning: Always hand-wash the knife with mild soap and warm water immediately after use. Avoid the dishwasher, as high heat and harsh detergents can damage the handle and degrade the blade edge.
- Drying: Thoroughly dry the blade with a soft towel immediately after washing to prevent moisture-related surface issues.
- Storage: Store in a knife block, on a magnetic strip, or in a protective sheath to protect the edge and ensure safety.
- Maintenance: Use a honing steel regularly to realign the edge and a sharpening stone periodically to restore the blade's initial sharpness.
