The thin blade is not suitable for cutting frozen meat or bones. Carbon steel knives are prone to rust when exposed to moisture. After use, promptly dry the knife. For long-term storage, apply a specialized Japanese blade rust prevention oil, wipe off excess oil, and polish the knife to a shine. Thorough inspections are carried out before shipping due to the long transportation distance. If you have any concerns upon receipt, please contact us immediately. Slight size discrepancies may occur due to batch variations, forging processes, and manual measurements, which are considered normal.
