Note: This product has been manufactured by submitting raw materials to manual treatments and processes that make each knife unique, original and not standardised. Any irregularities on the knife surface are additional guarantees of its uniqueness and manual processes and they do not effect the knife function.

Carbon Steel Blade Care: Please note that this knife is made with carbon steel, not stainless steel.  Carbon steel knives require extra care to prevent rusting and oxidation of the surface.  Carbon steel knives should not be placed in a dishwasher or allowed to soak in a sink.  After use we recommend cleaning the blade with a damp sponge or cloth and dry thoroughly.  Some people go a step further and apply a light coating of vegetable oil to the blade’s surface. If your blade shows signs of rust, use some steel wool to remove it and then apply some oil to the blade.   To keep the blade razor sharp, use a honing, or sharpening, steel. After years of use, the steel blade will develop a patina, a darkening which is desirable and an indication of its age.
