Japanese Gyuto Knife

To keep your fine cutlery performing at the highest level and to maintain its striking beauty, follow these tips for how to best use and care for your knife.

• Handwash in warm water and towel dry.
• A good cutting board will help retain a sharp edge for substantially longer. Softwoods, such as teak, are preferred.
• Do not cut frozen foods and bones unless it's meat cleaver.
• Never use your knife as a screwdriver or hammer.
• Use a sharpening stone, not honing steel, to re-sharpen your knives.
• It is best to store your blades in a wooden block, in-drawer knife tray, sheath, or knife case. Do not store your knives unsheathed in a drawer.
