Care & Maintenance
Shirogami #2 steel, while renowned for its sharpness, is not stainless. Ensure the knife is wiped dry after each use. Over time, a patina will develop, which is natural for carbon steel. Avoid cutting bones, frozen foods, and hard fruit pits. Use wood or rubberized cutting boards for best results. For sharpening, using whetstones is recommended.
