How should I care for Matsato Takana knives?

To help keep your knives in good condition:

1. Wash each knife by hand after use with mild soap and warm water.

2. Dry the blade and handle completely before storing.

3. Store the knives safely in a knife block, sheath, drawer organizer, or magnetic strip.

4. Use a proper cutting board, such as wood or plastic.

5. Avoid cutting frozen food, bones, hard pits, or other items that may damage the edge.

6. Sharpen or hone the knives as needed, depending on how often you use them.

The stainless steel construction is designed to help resist rust and staining, but proper cleaning and drying are still important.
