Use & Care
  • Knife care guide: Cleaning, sharpening and storing your Japanese knives.
  • Cutting board guide: Caring for your Japanese rubber cutting board.
  • Knives: Hand wash and dry immediately after use — never the dishwasher. It's the single biggest thing you can do for the blade and handle.
  • Sharpening: A whetstone keeps Japanese knives at their best — honing rods designed for Western knives can be too harsh for harder Japanese steel.
  • Storage: Store knives in a block, on a magnetic strip or with blade guards — loose in a drawer damages the edge.
