Care Instructions
-
Hand Wash Only: Never put your knives in the dishwasher. Harsh detergents, high heat, and tumbling can damage the blade edge and the wooden handle.
-
Wash Promptly: Clean your knife immediately after use, especially after cutting acidic foods (like citrus or tomatoes), which can cause staining or patina on high-carbon steel. Use warm water, a soft sponge, and mild dish soap. Avoid abrasive scrubbers.
-
Dry Immediately & Thoroughly: High-carbon steel can rust if left wet. Use a clean, dry towel to thoroughly dry the blade and handle immediately after washing. Pay attention to the area where the blade meets the handle.
-
Oil Occasionally:
- Handle: The Rosewood handle benefits from occasional conditioning with food-grade mineral oil or board butter to prevent drying or cracking. Apply a small amount, let it soak in, and wipe off the excess.
- Blade: To prevent potential rust and maintain the steel, apply a thin coat of food-grade mineral oil or specialized knife oil to the blade periodically, especially if storing for extended periods or if you live in a humid climate. Wipe off any excess.
