How to use

What to consider before purchase

Usage recommendations

To maintain the performance of your Samura MO-V knife, hand wash it with mild detergent and dry it immediately after use. Avoid cleaning the knife in a dishwasher, as high temperatures and harsh chemicals can damage the handle and dull the blade edge. Store the knife in a dedicated block or on a magnetic strip to protect the edge from contact with other metal utensils.
