Care

The stainless cladding helps reduce maintenance, but the exposed Blue #2 carbon steel edge can develop a patina and can rust if left wet. Hand wash and dry promptly after use. Do not soak or place in a dishwasher. Use a wooden or suitable plastic cutting board, and avoid bones, frozen food, hard surfaces and twisting the blade during a cut.
