Usage recommendations

Regular honing and periodic professional or home sharpening will maintain cutting performance. Clean the knife by hand with warm water and mild detergent, dry immediately to prevent water spots, and store safely in a block or on a magnetic strip. Avoid cutting on very hard surfaces such as ceramic or glass and refrain from using the knife on bone or frozen foods to preserve the edge.
