What to check before buying
Confirm the blade length, steel type and what is included in the box (sheath, board or gift box). Japanese steel means the material grade; the seller does not claim the knives are made in Japan. Knives must be shipped and used in line with local laws, and they should be stored out of reach of children.
Care and use
Hand wash with warm water and mild soap, dry immediately and store with the edge protected. Do not put the knife in the dishwasher. Hone regularly and sharpen when cutting starts to drag.
