Care and Use
- Hand wash with warm water and a gentle dish soap, then dry with a soft towel. Do not put the knife in the dishwasher or leave it in a sink of soapy water.
- Cut on a medium-soft wood board such as hinoki, and avoid glass, stone and ceramic surfaces.
- Do not cut bones, joints or frozen food. If the blade sticks, lift it straight up rather than twisting it.
Warranty and Sharpening
The knives are covered by Shun’s limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects, and Shun sharpens them free for as long as you own them (the owner pays shipping and processing). Wood blocks carry Shun’s 90-day warranty against original manufacturing defects.
