NOTES:
The core steel is SPG2, and the side steel is rust-resistant; however, please be sure to wash, wipe, and dry the knife thoroughly after each use. If rust appears on the blade, use a cleanser or take it to a sharpening service (note that scratches may occur).

To prevent damage, avoid twisting the blade, striking hard surfaces, or cutting with excessive force. Do not use the knife to cut frozen foods or bones, as the thin Japanese blade, designed for exceptional sharpness, is susceptible to chipping or breakage. Since Japanese knives are handcrafted, slight scratches may appear naturally.
