Sharpening

• All Kai Shun Knives (except those with serrated blades) should be sharpened regularly for optimum performance. Ideally this should be done every time that you use your knife. Fine bladed Damascus steel blades are best sharpened on a whetstone.

Cleaning

• We recommend that you hand wash you Kai Shun Knives in warm soapy water with a mild detergent. We also recommend that you dry your knives immediately with a soft cloth. It is important to wash your knives before foodstuffs have had a chance to dry on to the blades!
