Correct use and care
• To avoid accidental injury and blade damage, treat knives with respect and always take care when handling these knives.
• TAKUMI knives are not dishwasher-safe.
• To avoid rust, immediately clean and dry the blades after contact with food.
• Keep your knives in a knife block, on magnetic strip or in a knife sheath to protect the blades and prevent damage to the cutting edge by other utensils.
• If the knives are not used for a while, wrap them in a cloth or newspaper and store them in a dry place.
• Cutting on a soft , non-abrasive surface such as timber or plastic cutting board will help prevent premature dulling of the blade.
• Don not use the knives to cut hard foods, like shellfish or frozen food, and avoid tilting the blade when cutting, as this could damage the delicate cutting edge.
• Regular use Whet-stone or recommended sharpener will ensure that your knives retain their keen razor sharp edge.
The recommended sharpener for Takumi knives: KAI 貝印 Whetstone Grit 1000/3000 or SEKIMAGOROKU 関孫六 3 Stage Knife Sharpener.
