Knife can be oxidized without proper care. Recommended for professionals only.* The Beauty of the Japanese handcrafted knife Our Japanese master craftsmen hand forge each knife individually according to ancient tradition. Each knife is a work of art and will have characteristic marks on the face of the blade that can include a certain unevenness and a fine scratch-like finish. This is a signature of the hand made ancient tradition. Why Rust? Knife blades can rust from oxidation caused by moisture in the air. To prevent rusting, it is a very important to keep your knife blade clean, dry and keep away from moisture. The Tsubaki knife oil (Sold separately) protects the knife blade from posture to prevent oxidization. If you are not using your knife for a certain period of time, we recommend you apply Tsubaki knife oil before you store your knife.

Traditional Japanese knife making values a sharp edge, which requires attention and care. Sharpening and honing should be done with only water whetstones. Hand wash and dry only, and do so immediately if working with acidic ingredients. Do not use on objects such as bones, nutshells, and frozen foods. Carbon steel can oxidize if not properly maintained. Keep dry and oil regularly to prevent oxidation.
