Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This knife is ready for immediate use upon unboxing. Ensure it is handled with care to avoid accidental cuts.
Compatibility: The Miyabi 6000 MCT Sujihiki is designed for slicing tasks. It is compatible with most cutting boards, though materials like wood or high-quality composite are recommended to preserve the blade's edge.
Care Instructions:
- Hand Wash Only: To maintain the blade's integrity and sharpness, always wash the knife by hand immediately after use with warm water and mild dish soap.
- Dry Thoroughly: After washing, dry the blade and handle completely with a soft, lint-free cloth. Never air dry.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or scouring pads, as these can scratch the blade and damage the edge.
- Storage: Store the knife in a knife block, magnetic strip, or blade guard to protect the edge and prevent accidents. Avoid placing it loosely in a drawer.
- Sharpening: For routine maintenance, use a ceramic honing steel. For re-sharpening, use a whetstone suitable for Japanese knives or consult a professional sharpening service. Due to the high Rockwell hardness, improper sharpening can damage the edge.
