☆【 Care Instructions 】
Although stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance, it may still rust under conditions of moisture, high salinity, or surface damage. It is recommended to keep it dry, clean it regularly, and maintain it properly.
☆【 Professional After-Sales Maintenance 】
In-store professional kitchen knife sharpening services are available to keep your prized knife performing at its peak.
⚠️ Avoid Extremely Hard Objects ⚠️
Never chop frozen food or hard bones to prevent blade damage, chipping, or breakage.
⚠️ No Dishwasher or Dryer ⚠️
Do not clean in a dishwasher or dish dryer; high heat and harsh detergents will damage both the blade and the handle material.
⚠️ Standard Cleaning Procedure ⚠️
Hand wash with warm water after use, dry thoroughly and immediately with a dry cloth or soft towel, and store in a well-ventilated, dry place.
❁【 Return and Exchange Standards for Aesthetic Manufacturing Marks 】
All high-end kitchen knives sold in our store are authentic and genuine from the manufacturer. Because the handcrafted production process includes manual grinding, hand sharpening, and saya fitting adjustments, slight micro-scratches on the blade surface are "normal factory conditions" rather than quality defects. Every piece is strictly inspected before shipment. Perfectionists, please consider carefully before placing an order.
❁【 Kind Reminder 】
All product photos are taken from actual items. However, due to lighting, shooting angles, or different display monitor settings, slight color variations between the photos and the physical product may occur. Buyers who are extremely sensitive to color differences should consider carefully before ordering. The color of the actual received item shall prevail.
