Japanese Hand Forged Carbon Steel 9.5 Inch Chef Knife

Please read this instruction carefully before using the knife. Besides, kindly keep this instruction well.

Precautions for the use of knives

Please do not immerse the knife in water for a long time, otherwise it will cause the handle to be corroded or the blade to rust. Frozen food must be completely thawed before cutting with a knife. When cutting hard ingredients, such as fish bones, please use a special Deba knife. For cutting chickens and ducks and other bone-in ingredients, please use a special bone chopper. Do not sway to cut the ingredients. Swinging to cut will cause uneven force on the cutting edge and cause the cutting edge to collapse. Please do not put the knives in the dishwasher for cleaning. The special detergent and high temperature of the dishwasher will cause the knives to rust or the handles to crack and deform. Do not slap things with the blade of the knife to avoid damage to the knife.

Knife care and maintenance

After using the knife, please wash it with clean water in time and wipe it with a dry cloth, and then place it in a dry and ventilated place. Do not place the knives in a humid, salty, acid, or alkaline environment, which will cause corrosion and rusting of the knives. Do not put the knife directly on the fire or close to the fire source, otherwise it will cause the knife body to deform and performance degradation. Please do not wipe the blade with non-woven nylon fabric. After the knife has been used for a period, it is recommended to use a high-quality whetstone for grinding to maintain good sharpness. If you accidentally cause the knife to rust, please scrub it with detergent and sponge, or polish it with a high-mesh whetstone. Regularly re-grinding the knives to remove dirt, oil stains, stains, etc. on the knives.
