Care and Maintenance

Taking good care of your handmade knife is essential to ensure its longevity and maintain its cutting performance. Here are some care and maintenance suggestions:

Safe Handling:

Handle the knife with caution, as it is extremely sharp. Always be mindful of your fingers and avoid contact with the blade's edge.
Keep the knife out of the reach of children to prevent accidents or injuries.

Proper Use:

Limit the knife's usage to cooking purposes only. Avoid using it for tasks like opening cans or boxes, which can damage the blade.

Cleaning:

After each use, hand wash the knife using mild dish soap and warm water. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners that can damage the blade or handle.
Carefully clean both sides of the blade, the handle, and any other exposed parts.
Rinse the knife thoroughly to remove all soap residue.

Drying:

Dry the knife immediately after washing to prevent moisture buildup, which can lead to rust.
Use a soft, clean cloth to wipe the blade and handle completely dry. Ensure there are no water spots left.

Storage:

Store the knife in a safe and dry place, away from moisture and humidity.
Consider using a knife sheath or blade guard to protect the blade from accidental damage and to prevent injuries when retrieving or storing the knife.

Sharpening:

To maintain satisfactory cutting performance, it is recommended to re-sharpen the knife once or twice per month. However, this frequency may vary depending on the knife's usage and your personal preference.
Use a sharpening stone or honing rod designed for kitchen knives to restore the blade's sharpness. Follow the manufacturer's instructions or seek guidance from a professional if you're unsure about the sharpening process.

By following these care and maintenance practices, you can ensure that your handmade knife remains sharp, safe to use, and lasts for a long time.

More details

The Santoku knife is the most popular type of knife that has evolved together with the Japanese culture.

It is an all-purpose knife that could prepare pretty much any ingredient. Although its birthplace is Japan, its convenience has spread overseas, and in recent years many non-Japan-made Santoku Knives are found.

ZWILLING BBQ+ ABS Digital Thermometer - Dual Probe & Rechargeable

Great kitchen scale

Excellent for my kitchen. I had to buy two just because I do cook and bake quite a bit and sometimes one scale is just not good enough for time management. I highly recommend them. Would make a great gift for someone just starting out or as an upgrade. Zwilling just has great products overall.

STAUB Pans 20 cm / 8 inch Cast Iron Double Handle Skillet, Black

So glad I chose this one.

I needed to grill asparagus in a cast iron pan. I tried my 10" Lodge, but it was too big for just two people. I chose Staub because it is considered an elite product. I love how it has an enamel coating. It washed up perfectly and the size is just right. The Lodge cast iron will now go to the church yard sale - I'm sold on Staub!

Eatoco Nulu Butter Knife – Japanese Stainless-Steel Butter Curler & Spreader

Sturdy steel butter knife. I was pleasantly surprised by the thickness of steel used which makes the bend function as desired which is to srape of the butter strings through the holes. Well thought and designed by not compromising on quality at all. Full marks! Japanese know it well and their craftsmanship is at another level.

Tsunami - Fish Bone Tweezer Square type - Made in Japan

Pretty good but not a game changer

I’m a salmon and trout angler. I was happy with using this tool to pin bone pink salmon as it was able to pull two out at a time. I tried it on a fresh chinook last night though and wasn’t very impressed, I think needle nose pliers would have been more effective.
