Care
Both the carbon steel core and iron cladding are reactive: patina is normal, and the blade can rust if left wet. Wash by hand, wipe during use and dry thoroughly after washing. Do not soak or put in a dishwasher. Apply a light coat of food-safe knife oil before extended storage.
Use a suitable wooden or soft plastic chopping board. Avoid bones, frozen food, twisting the edge and hard cutting surfaces. Maintain the edge with whetstones.
