• Care
• Hand-wash with warm water and a mild detergent; rinse and dry immediately. Do not place in dishwasher.
• Avoid cleaners containing bleach or citrus extracts.
• Oil the wood handle as needed with food-safe mineral oil.
• Sharpen as needed. With regular use and honing once a week, your knife should not need sharpening more than once or twice a year.
• Sharpen your knife at home using a whetstone or knife sharpener designed to sharpen at a 15-degree angle, or have it sharpened by a professional.
• Store knife in a safe place to protect its edge and prevent injury.
