Carbon knives (knives with a very high carbon content and without chromium additives) are sharper, easier to harpen, but require more maintenance they ARE NOT stainless steel. We always clean them after use - always wash with cold water and soap, not with abrasive materials and hot water. After washing, the carbon steel knives must be towel wiped very well, dried thoroughly, coated with a thin layer of olive oil or camellia oil and stored until their next use.

Knives made of carbon steel  will acquire a gray finish over time. This is not negative nor does it affect the quality of the blade - on the contrary it prevents further oxidation of your carbon steel and can make your knife more resistant to other forms of corrosion. This patina is actualy a protective layer on your blade

Use & Care

- Use a sharpening stone to maintain sharpness of the blade.
