- Rinse After Each Use: Wash with fresh water after using, especially if exposed to salt, moisture, or acidic foods.
- Dry Immediately: Wipe your knife dry right away—never leave it to air dry.
- Oil After Each Use: Apply a light coat of food-safe oil to prevent rust. Suitable options include mineral oil, camellia oil, beeswax-based knife oils, or food-grade coconut oil. Avoid olive or vegetable oils as they can turn rancid.
