Frequently Asked Questions
Can it go in the dishwasher?
No. Wash by hand in warm soapy water and dry straight away. Dishwashers can damage the edge and handle.
What is VG-10 steel?
VG-10 is a high-carbon Japanese stainless steel known for taking a very fine edge and holding it well. The Damascus layers around it add toughness and corrosion resistance.
How should I sharpen it?
Use Japanese whetstones, starting around 1000 grit and finishing on a finer stone. Avoid pull-through sharpeners and coarse steels, which can chip a hard edge.
Is it suitable for bones or frozen food?
No. The hard, thin edge can chip on bones, frozen food or hard rinds. Use a cleaver or a heavier knife for those jobs.
What cutting board should I use with it?
Use a polyethylene, rubber or timber board. Glass, stone, ceramic and steel benches will dull the edge quickly and can chip it.
