• Many of our knives are thinly ground to improve their sharpness, so they tend to chip easily. Therefore, please avoid using the dishwasher or using brute force.
• Depending on the storage method, there is a risk of rust or the wooden handle breaking, so please be sure to dry the knife gently with a dry towel after washing it by hand.
• This knife is very easy to cut, so please perform maintenance such as polishing the blade regularly.
• When cutting frozen foods with a knife, be careful as this is not the intended use of the knife. If you use a knife on food that has not been completely defrosted, the knife may break.
