Knife Maintenance
-
It is typically advisable to prepare a damp cloth with a bit of detergent. After each use, wipe the blade with the damp cloth, then rinse it with water, and finally, dry it with a clean cloth. This routine minimizes the likelihood of rust formation.
-
If you anticipate not using the knife for an extended period, it's a good practice to apply a light coating of oil to the blade to prevent rust. In humid regions like the southern United States, it's especially recommended to apply a thin layer of specialized knife protection oil or alternatives like olive oil or castor oil. This acts as a barrier against moisture, ensuring that your tool remains rust-free during prolonged storage.

When dealing with high carbon steel knives, it's best to avoid cutting fruits, as fruit juices can cause rapid chemical reactions with metal. This is particularly true for carbon steel, where substances like lemon juice can lead to surface oxidation and rust formation in as little as 2-3 minutes. Therefore, it's not advisable to use carbon steel knives for cutting fruits or other juicy ingredients.

Like a hot knife through butter 👌🏻
Great to look at, great to hold and great to use
These knives are exquisite. They look beautiful and are sharp. The only issue I have with them is, it's sometimes difficult to discern which way round the knife is, if you can understand that
These are fantastic!!! Love every detail will order a different set in the future the only down fall is it could come in better packaging but otherwise no complaints
These knives are beautiful, light and cut so well .
Sharp! Cool!
We’re very impressed with the quality of the knives and how they feel light yet powerful.
Def recommend this knives. Worth the price.
Works as advertised.
This arrived sharp and aesthetically pleasing!
The length is quite long and takes some getting used to but I'd stand by it's a great value.
Picture is my other Chef's Knife to compare the length.
Newest addition, love it
Even he knows how good dinners are going to be. Such good knives haha
Purchase the Awabi chef knife 12 months ago and thought I'd upgrade and get the Kaigan set. Quality is unreal. My Awabi still looks brand new
Would recommend for anyone sitting on the fence. Can tell I'll have these for a long time.
I don't normally buy online but these have made me wonder what I've missed out on all these years. Would recommend
Just received mine this morning and thought they wouldn't look as good in person but the detail is INSANE!! Used them for dinner just then and they are perfect, makes preparation a lot more fun
