How do I look after the knife properly?
Wash the knife by hand with warm water after each use and then dry it thoroughly. Avoid washing it in the dishwasher, as this can damage the blade and the wooden handle. To ensure the knife remains sharp in the long term, we recommend regular sharpening using a whetstone or by a specialist service.
