Kanetsune Santoku KC-900

After each use, hand-wash knives with mild detergent and warm water. Dry immediately to prevent rust. Maintain wooden handles by protecting them from prolonged water baths and occasionally treating them with wood oil. Avoid contact with acidic foods to protect the blade. Use soft cutting surfaces such as wood or plastic. Sharpen regularly with a whetstone instead of a honing rod. Store knives safely on magnetic strips or in knife blocks. Always follow the manufacturer's specific care instructions for best results.
