Due to its carbon steel construction, this knife requires specific care to prevent rust. Hand wash immediately after each use with mild soap and warm water, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Apply a thin coat of food-grade mineral oil to the blade regularly, especially after contact with acidic foods or extended use. Store in a dry place, preferably in a knife block, magnetic strip, or a fitted saya (sheath) to protect the edge and surface. Avoid dishwashers, harsh detergents, and abrasive scrubbing pads.
