Chef’s knife

You should hand wash your kitchen knives.

If you have a knife with a thinner blade, like most Japanese knives, then the movement of the dishwasher along with the other dishes can easily ruin the blade’s edges. Also, the continuous stream of hot water from the machine can cause rust to form on reactive knife blades like those made from carbon steels.  The chemicals and abrasive material used in detergents can weaken the steel and cause dullness.

Dont cut on Hard Surfaces

Even though materials like marble, steel, stone and glass probably won’t sustain damage if you cut an ingredient on top of them, this doesn’t mean that they’re safe for your knife. Your knife will dull faster from the edge repeatedly coming in contact with a hard surface.  Your edge will last longer and perform better if you use cutting boards made of end grain wood, rubber or softer plastics.  Surfaces with some give won’t damage the knife. Food grade cutting boards from composite materials are easy to sanitize.

Never store the Knife with Other Utensils

Never store your kitchen knives with other utensils in a drawer where they’re not held securely. Not only is this dangerous, but they can move around and come in contact with other utensils when you store and remove them as well as when you pull the drawer open or push it closed. This can dull and even damage your edges.  We recommend using wooden knife covers called sayas that will offer excellent edge protection while preventing any residual moisture from being trapped against the blade.
