Thank you for choosing a knife made of high-quality Sandvik steel! This knife offers an excellent combination of sharpness, durability, and corrosion resistance. To ensure it brings you joy for a long time, please observe the following care instructions:

1. Cleaning after Use

•Clean the knife immediately after use by hand with warm water and a soft sponge or cloth.
•Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the surface of the steel.
•Do not put the knife in the dishwasher. Although Sandvik steel is stainless, the high temperatures and aggressive detergents in the dishwasher can affect the handle and the blade.

2. Drying and Storage

•After cleaning, dry the knife immediately with a soft cloth to avoid water spots.
•Store the knife safely in a knife sheath, a knife block, or a wooden box to protect the blade from damage.
•Store the knife in a dry place and avoid prolonged contact with moisture.

3. Handle Care

•If your knife has a wooden handle, you should occasionally treat it with a little linseed oil or a special wood care oil to keep the material supple and prevent cracks.

4. Sharpening the Blade

•Although Sandvik steel is known for its excellent sharpness, the blade may need to be resharpened over time, depending on the frequency of use.
•Use a high-quality whetstone with fine and coarse sides. Maintain an angle of about 15 degrees when sharpening.

5. Additional Notes

•Sandvik steel is stainless, but we still recommend not soaking the knife in water for extended periods to protect the handle and the overall construction.
•If slight discolorations or spots form, these can be removed with a damp cloth or a special stainless steel cleaner.

With proper care, your Sandvik steel knife will remain a loyal companion for many years. Thank you for choosing a product that combines traditional craftsmanship and modern technology!
