To avoid rusting, dry thoroughly after hand washing in warm, soapy water. Do not put away until fully dry. Store away from humidity in the bamboo box provided. Maintenance Use Japanese Waterstones or similar sharpening stones to sharpen your knife-never on a hot grinder or belt sander. Find a reputable sharpener experienced in knives. We recommend a protective layer of oil *olive, vegetable, canola) on the exposed carbon steel. Apply after washing and drying. Any Rust should be removed immediately so it doesn't spread.
