【Care Instructions】
・Wipe the blade dry immediately after use and store it in a dry place.
・Avoid leaving the knife wet or soaking it in water — this will cause rust.
・Do not use a dishwasher. High heat and moisture can damage the blade.
・When storing for long periods, apply a thin layer of camellia oil or food-safe anti-rust oil to the blade.
・If rust appears, gently remove it using a rust eraser or fine polishing compound.
・Always keep the knife in a dry, well-ventilated area.
・Avoid cutting bones, frozen foods, or hard items to prevent chipping or damage to the edge.
