Care Instructions:

• Do not wash in dishwasher, as this may cause corrosion of the blades
• To clean, run under hot water with a small amount of detergent and dry thoroughly
• Store in a dry, moisture-free place to avoid rusting or discolouration
• If the knives are not used for an extended period of time, wrap them in a dry cloth or newspaper and store them in a dry place; the hygroscopic paper will keep the blades dry and the oil from the printing ink prevent corrosion
• Select the correct knife for the task to ensure you will get the best cutting results and you are also easy on the blades
• Miyabi knives should only be sharpened with a professional sharpening stone due to the extremely hard steel and the fine Honbazuke honing of the knives
