Setup, Compatibility & Care
This knife requires no complex setup but demands specific care to maintain its performance. Always use a wooden or plastic cutting board to avoid premature dulling of the edge; glass or stone surfaces should be avoided. After every use, wash the blade by hand with warm soapy water and dry it immediately with a soft cloth to prevent moisture-related corrosion. Periodically hone the blade with a sharpening steel to keep the edge aligned, and store it in a knife block or on a magnetic strip to protect the cutting edge from impacts with other utensils.
