☆【 Maintenance & Care Precautions 】 Although stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance, it can still rust under humid, high-salinity, or damaged conditions. It is recommended to keep it dry and clean/maintain it regularly.
☆【 Professional After-Sales Maintenance 】 We offer professional kitchen knife sharpening services in-store to ensure your beloved knife remains in peak condition.
▸ Avoid Extreme Hard Objects: Strictly prohibited from chopping frozen ingredients or hard bones to prevent blade structure damage, chipping, or nicking.
▸ No Machine Washing or Drying: Do not use a dishwasher or dish dryer. High temperatures and harsh detergents will damage the knife body and handle material.
▸ Standard Cleaning Process: After use, please hand wash with warm water, immediately wipe completely dry with a dry cloth or soft towel, and store in a well-ventilated, dry place.
❁【 Regarding Return/Exchange Standards for Visual Manufacturing Marks 】
The high-end kitchen knives sold in our shop are all genuine originals. Because the manufacturing process involves hand-grinding, sharpening, and sheath fitting tests, slight fine scratches left on the blade surface are a "normal condition from the original factory" and do not constitute quality defects. We strictly inspect every item before shipping. Perfectionists, please think twice before placing an order.
❁【 Friendly Reminder 】
The products are all photographed using actual items. However, due to shooting light, angles, or different screen monitor settings across brands, there may be slight color differences between the photos and the actual product. Buyers who are extremely sensitive to color variations should consider carefully before ordering. The color of the product is subject to the actual item received.
