After use, be sure to rinse with hot water or water and then wipe off any moisture thoroughly.
The sharpness of a blade can be maintained by sharpening it, so if the blade becomes dull, sharpen it before using it again.
There are natural whetstones and artificial whetstones, so please consult a specialist store before purchasing.
We recommend having it sharpened and repaired at a specialist store once every 1-2 years.
| How to sharpen |
For double-edged knives, sharpen both sides an equal number of times.
For single-edged knives, sharpen the front of the blade from the tip to the base. If the back of the blade feels rough (burred), lightly sharpen the back 2-3 times until the burr is gone.
| Handling Precautions |
We recommend using a wooden cutting board if possible.
Do not use for anything other than cooking.
