FC61 is a fine carbide steel known for its exceptional hardness (approximately 61 Rockwell) and superior edge retention, making the blade stay sharper for longer.

No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. Hand washing with mild soap and water is recommended to maintain the blade's sharpness and the handle's integrity.

The Damascus design is created by layering 48 steels, resulting in a beautiful, flowing pattern on the blade. It is aesthetically pleasing and part of the knife's construction.

Regularly use a honing steel to realign the blade's edge. For best results and when honing is insufficient, professional sharpening is recommended periodically.

FRIODUR is a proprietary ZWILLING process where the blade is ice-hardened. This process enhances the steel's hardness, durability, and resistance to corrosion.

Yes, the symmetrical cutting edge and the design of the Pakka wood handle make this knife suitable for both right- and left-handed users.

MIYABI knives come with a ZWILLING Lifetime Warranty, covering defects in materials and craftsmanship.

Hone the blade using a honing steel. If honing does not restore sharpness, professional sharpening may be required.

Immediately wash and dry the knife thoroughly. For minor spots, use a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth. Ensure the knife is always dried completely after washing.

Contact customer support. A loose handle may indicate a defect.

Cease use immediately. Minor chips may be repairable by a professional sharpener. Avoid forcing the knife through hard materials like bones or frozen food.
