We recommend handwashing to protect the blade’s edge and maintain the handle’s integrity. Dishwashers can dull the blade and damage the handle over time.

You can use a whetstone, honing rod, or professional sharpener. Regular honing maintains the edge, while sharpening restores it when dull.

Store it in a knife block, magnetic strip, blade guard, or sheath to keep the edge protected and prevent accidents.
