Care
Clean the knife by hand and wiped dry immediately after every use. Do not put it in the dishwasher, even if it is rustproof. Stainless steels even can get rust. We recommend wiping the blade with a thin coat of Japanese pure camellia oil (sold separately) if the knife is not going to be use for a while.
Please don't use for cutting frozen food or to chop bones.
The blacksmith is turning out excellent knives with unsurpassed Japanese blade knowledge and expertise handed down from generation to generation for centuries.
Some Michelin 3-star chefs in Europe gave a high marks to the Tanaka knives, and we recommend this high-class kitchen knife series for professional chefs to enhance their art of cooking as well as for Perfect Gift.
