Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your MIYABI 5000 MCD Santoku lasts a lifetime, follow these maintenance guidelines. Never use the knife on glass, ceramic, or stone cutting boards, as these surfaces will dull or chip the hardened edge immediately; always opt for wooden or high-quality plastic boards. Always hand-wash the blade with warm water and mild soap, drying it immediately with a soft towel to prevent oxidation. Never put this knife in the dishwasher, as the high heat and detergents will damage the wooden handle and compromise the blade's structural integrity. Regular honing with a professional-grade ceramic or diamond rod is recommended to maintain the edge between professional sharpening sessions.
