Caring for Suncraft Classic Damascus Steel Knives
Hand wash
Do not wash the knife in the dishwasher. After use, rinse it with a soft sponge and dry it immediately with a soft cloth.
Protect the blade
Do not cut bones, frozen foods, or very hard ingredients. Use a wooden or high-quality plastic cutting board.
Sharpening on a stone
To maintain a fine edge, we recommend water-based sharpening stones. Coarse sharpening steels can damage the blade.
