Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the knife comes factory-sharpened, it is ready for immediate use upon arrival. To ensure longevity, follow these care guidelines:
- Hand Wash Only: Always wash the knife by hand using warm water and mild detergent. Do not place it in a dishwasher, as high heat and harsh chemicals can degrade the handle-to-blade seal.
- Storage: Store the knife in a knife block, on a magnetic strip, or with a protective blade guard to prevent the flexible tip from becoming bent.
- Honing: Maintain the edge by using a fine-grit honing steel at a 15-20 degree angle before each session.
- Cutting Surfaces: Use only wooden, bamboo, or soft plastic cutting boards. Avoid glass, granite, or metal surfaces, which will dull the steel instantly.
