【 Maintenance Precautions 】
Although stainless steel possesses good corrosion resistance, it may still rust under humid, high-salinity, or damaged conditions. It is recommended to keep it dry and perform regular cleaning and maintenance.
Avoid Extreme Hard Objects: Strictly prohibited from hacking frozen ingredients or hard bones to prevent structural damage, chipping, or nicking of the blade.
No Machine Washing or Drying: Do not use a dishwasher or dish dryer; high temperatures and potent detergents will damage the knife body and handle material.
Standard Cleaning Process: After use, hand wash with warm water and immediately dry thoroughly with a dry cloth or soft towel. Store in a ventilated and dry place.
