─── Knife Model Introduction ▪️ Tsubaki Knife ───
▸ The Tsubaki knife is a traditional blade style crafted by Miyazaki Kajiya, originating from the practical knife designs of the Edo period.
▸ The tip is upturned and sharp, making it suitable for precision work and delicate trimming.
▸ Versatile for various cooking tasks, including meat, vegetables, small fish, and root vegetables.
☆【 Maintenance Precautions 】
Although stainless steel has good corrosion resistance, it may still rust under conditions involving moisture, high salinity, or damage. It is recommended to keep the blade dry and perform regular cleaning and maintenance.
▸ Avoid extreme hard objects: Do not hack frozen foods or hard bones, as this may damage the blade structure, cause chipping, or break the edge.
▸ No dishwasher/dryer: Do not use a dishwasher or drying machine; high temperatures and strong detergents will damage the blade and handle.
▸ Standard cleaning procedure: After use, hand wash with warm water, wipe dry immediately with a clean cloth or soft towel, and store in a well-ventilated, dry place.
