[Handling Precautions]
*Do not use for anything other than cooking.
Please take care that the blade doesn't become cracked from daily use. Should it become cracked, it will cause chipping or breakage regardless of usage time. Should it be broken or deformed, do not use.
*Use a knife for its correct purpose. When cutting frozen food, tough food with bones etc, the blade may chip, crack or break, so use a special knife to do so.
*The blade edge is very thinly sharpened, so do not use like a machete or forcefully move sideways. (The blade may chip.)
*The wood handle picks up moisture easily, so wipe off moisture properly. Using for a long time may cause cracking and deformation so exchange as soon as possible.
*Chlorine-based disinfectant and bleach cause rust.
*Be sure to use a cutting board.
*Do not put knife over an open flame.
*Do not use in a dishwasher or dish-dryer.
*Make sure that children use this in the presence of a guardian.
*Store in a safe place after use.
*Sharp knives lose their sharpness over time. Sharpen approx. once a month.
*Do not use for any purpose other than its intended one.
[Daily Care]
*Wash with kitchen detergent before use.
*When cleaning with a sponge, do not rub the blade edge. (Do not use a metal scourer.)
*Leaving water and dirt attached to stainless steel knives will cause rust.
*After use, remove adhered stains right away with kitchen bleach or powdered cleanser and boiled hot water. The blade and handle joint especially collects dirt, so wash properly here. By washing with hot water, moisture will evaporate.
*Finally, wipe off moisture from blade and handle with a dry cloth, dry and store.
*If you will not use it for a long time, remove dirt properly with cleanser after use, dry, wrap in a newspaper and then store in a place that isn't humid.
