Care information
Care information
The cutting edge is Carbon Steel, so it will rust if not maintained.
Clean with a soft towel and thouroughly dry after use.
Rinse with water or sanitzier after cutting acidic foods such as citrus, tomatoes, or fruit. The acid will discolor the metal.
The handle is of natural wood and should be treating with some consideration.
I recommend Tsubaki Oil to be used with the Blade and Wood, Mineral Oil is an alternative.
Never place in the dishwasher.
