Setup, Compatibility & Care
This knife arrives sharp and ready to use out of the box. To maintain the longevity of the blade, ensure you are only using it on appropriate cutting surfaces like wood or high-quality plastic boards. Always hand-wash the knife with warm water and a mild detergent, drying it immediately with a soft cloth to prevent corrosion. Never place this knife in a dishwasher, as high heat and harsh detergents can damage the handle and dull the blade edge prematurely.
