Care
Hand wash with warm water and a mild detergent, then dry the knife right away; Suncraft advises against the dishwasher. Use a wood or soft plastic cutting board, keep the edge away from bones and frozen food, and maintain it on whetstones. The black finish is a surface treatment, so avoid abrasive pads on the blade face.
