Care
White #1 is reactive carbon steel and will develop a patina with use. Hand wash, wipe the blade during preparation and dry thoroughly after use. Do not soak or put in a dishwasher. Apply a light coat of food-safe blade oil before extended storage. Use a wooden or suitable synthetic cutting board; avoid bones, frozen food, twisting and prying. Maintain the edge with appropriate whetstones.
