How should I sharpen my knife?
While you can use a simple knife sharpener for a quick fix, we highly recommend using a whetstone to maintain the blade's true edge and longevity.
If you don't plan on using your knife for an extended period, applying a thin coat of Tsubaki (Camellia) oil will protect the steel and keep it in perfect condition. Your knife will thank you!
How often should I sharpen my knife?
For our stainless steel knives used daily, a general guide is to sharpen them once every 2 to 3 months. The best time to sharpen is when you feel the blade isn't cutting as smoothly as it used to.
Always hand-wash and dry your knife thoroughly after each use. These small daily habits will ensure a long and beautiful partnership between you and your knife.
