NOTE:
The core steel is SPG2, and the side steel is rust-resistant; however, please be sure to wash, wipe, and dry the knife thoroughly after each use. If rust appears on the blade, use a cleanser or take it to a sharpening service (note that scratches may occur).

Avoid twisting the edge or striking the blade. Do not cut frozen foods or bones, as the thinner, sharper edge of Japanese knives may chip or break. Since Japanese knives are handcrafted, slight scratches may appear naturally.
