Care & Maintenance

• Hand wash only - never dishwasher
• Dry immediately after washing to prevent rust
• Apply a light coat of food-safe mineral oil to the blade if storing long-term
• Sharpen with a whetstone - carbon steel responds exceptionally well to sharpening
• A natural patina will develop with use - this is normal and desirable
