Miyabi Isshin Utility Knife with Rosewood Handle, 12cm

Hand wash and dry well with a soft cloth immediately after use. Ensure the knife is never left sitting in wet conditions. High quality stainless steel knives will often include a high-carbon element, to increase performance. These kind of stainless steels are not 100% rust proof, and will require careful handling. Any good quality kitchen knife should be kept away from the dishwasher, as the combination of salt, humidity and heat are not beneficial for the knife’s cutting edge. A sharp knife is a safe knife — use a honing rod to keep a fine edge, and sharpen with a stone when necessary. Treat the wooden handle when necessary with a food safe mineral oil to keep the wood from drying out and prevent warping or splitting, which could result in the handle coming loose.
