Troubleshooting
Knife feels dull
The blade may need sharpening. Use a suitable knife sharpener or honing steel for Japanese steel blades. Ensure you are sharpening at the correct angle.
Handle feels slippery
Ensure the soft-grip areas are clean and free from grease or oil. While designed for grip, extreme slipperiness might indicate residue. Dry the handle thoroughly.
