Our comment
Sharpening
- Touch up and sharpen regularly to remove micro cracks that develop from normal use and corrosion. This will minimise the chance of chipping. We recommend sharpening on whetstones.
- Using fixed cross-blade type pull-through sharpeners is strongly not recommended. They can chip knives instantly only with a little twisting motion.
Care and Use
Use
- Do not attempt twisting or torqueing while cutting.
- Do not cut bones, frozen foods or any other hard objects. Use an appropriate knife like thick blades.
- Using a timber or synthetic rubber cutting board is recommended. Plastic should be fine, but glass, ceramic, or bamboo boards should be avoided.
Cleaning
- Dry well after washing. You may use hot water to assist.
- No dishwasher use.
Storing
- Apply a thin coat of camellia oil, particularly when storing a carbon steel knife for a long period.
- Storing in a cover or sheath that has been contaminated with rust is not recommended.
