Take care of a good thing
Use it often.
Keep it sharp.
A little care goes a long way. Keep your knife clean, dry it well, and protect the steel before you put it away.
Ask the maker01Clean after use+
Hand wash with mild soap and warm water. Never leave the knife soaking or put it in a dishwasher.
02Dry completely+
Wipe the blade and handle fully dry before returning the knife to its sheath.
03Protect the steel+
Apply a thin coat of food-safe mineral oil before storage, especially on carbon steel. A natural patina is part of its character.
04Maintain the edge+
Strop regularly and sharpen only when needed to preserve the blade geometry. Ask the maker if you’re unsure about your particular edge.
