Tips for maintaining value

Cleaning

After each use, wash the knife under running lukewarm water with a sponge or cloth and dry briefly. Cook's knives must not be put in the dishwasher! The aggressive salts and the heat attack the steel just like rust film. Likewise, the knife must not lie in the possibly filled sink. Leftovers of mustard or horseradish can also eat into the steel if they are not washed off.

Storage

Our knives are very sharp and should therefore be stored safely (in a place out of the reach of small children). We recommend storing high-quality knives in a knife block, on a magnetic strip or in a knife bag/case. In order not to prevent the blades, they should not lie on top of each other or be stored together with other kitchen utensils, e.g. in a drawer.

Sharpen

Grind it over special wet grinding stones, never pull it over a sharpening steel or let it down from a grinder. Regular scraping over the stone guarantees a very good sharpness and fun when cooking. Traditionally, the highest quality Japanese knives are not stainless. Always make sure that your knives are never wet.

Instructions for sharpening Japanese wet sharpening stones

Let the stone really soak in the water for 15 minutes. The stone should always be wet during grinding, you can also sprinkle it with a little water. The water acts like a lubricant on the stone.
The knife should be at an angle of 10-20 degrees to the sharpening stone. Then the knife is pulled over the stone, i.e. pushed back and forth with light pressure.
During the grinding process, a powder is created that allows the grinding process to take place, similar to how soap foam cleans hands.
Single-edged knives are ground 80% front and 20% rear, double-edged 70% front and 30% rear. The front is right for right-handers and left for left-handers. (We also have many single-edged knives and serrated knives for left-handers).
After the sharpening process, the knife should be washed well with lukewarm water and finally dried.
