FAQs
Can I use this knife for cutting through bone?
No, this knife is designed for slicing and chopping meats and vegetables. Cutting through bone can chip or damage the blade edge.
How often should I sharpen it?
Sharpening frequency depends on usage. For a regular home cook, sharpening every 3-6 months is generally sufficient, provided the blade is honed regularly.
Is the black finish a coating that will peel off?
The black finish is part of the traditional forging process. While it is durable, it is not a plastic coating and will hold up well with proper hand-washing.
Should I oil the blade?
If you live in a very humid environment, applying a light coat of food-safe mineral oil after drying can provide extra protection against rust.
What is the best way to cut hard vegetables like squash?
Use a steady downward motion, ensuring your guiding hand is in the 'claw' position for safety. Let the weight of the knife assist in the cut.
Troubleshooting
Visible spots or discoloration on the blade
This is often due to residual moisture. Gently scrub with a non-abrasive sponge, wash, and dry immediately.
Blade feels dull during use
Use a honing rod to realign the blade edge. If dullness persists, the knife may require a professional sharpening or the use of a high-quality manual stone.

- Immediate Drying: Always wipe the knife completely dry with a soft cloth immediately after washing. Never leave it sitting in a drying rack or sink.
