Knife Maintenance
At Tedzukuri Knives, we are dedicated to crafting premium blades designed for optimal performance in specific culinary tasks. To ensure the longevity and quality of your knives, please adhere to the following usage guidelines:
Intended Use
- Meat Preparation: Tedzukuri Knives are crafted to excel at slicing through slabs of meat. However, they are not designed for cutting through bones, frozen foods, or other extremely hard materials.
- Vegetable Preparation: These knives are ideal for cutting external parts of vegetables. Avoid using them on hard cores, seeds, or tough external shells that may compromise the blade's edge.
-
Proper Handling
- Use a soft cutting surface such as a wooden or plastic cutting board to protect the blade. Avoid glass, ceramic, or stone surfaces.
- Always use controlled, smooth motions to minimize wear on the blade and reduce the risk of damage.
Prohibited Uses
- Do not use the knives as tools for prying, scraping, or chopping excessively hard materials like nuts, bones, or frozen items.
- Avoid any use that requires extreme force or torque on the blade, as this may lead to damage or breakage.
- Cutting hard outer shells of fruits, seeds, medium+ hard cheese, bones etc.
All of the above prohibited used will void your warranty.
Proper care and maintenance are essential to preserving the performance and longevity of your Tedzukuri Knives. Follow these guidelines to keep your knives in excellent condition:
Cleaning
- Hand Wash Only: Clean your knives immediately after use with warm water, mild detergent, and a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive scrubbers that can damage the blade or handle.
- Dry Thoroughly: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to dry the knife immediately after washing. Do not leave your knives wet, as moisture can lead to rust or staining.
Sharpening
- Regular Honing: Hone your knife with a honing rod or steel to maintain the edge between sharpenings. This realigns the blade for peak performance.
- Periodic Sharpening: Sharpen your knife with a whetstone or seek professional sharpening services as needed to restore its edge. Avoid using electric sharpeners, as they may damage the blade.
Storage
- Safe Storage: Store your knives in a knife block, magnetic strip, or protective sheath to prevent dulling and accidental injury. Avoid tossing knives in a drawer.
- Separate Storage: Keep knives separate from other utensils to maintain their edge and avoid potential damage.
General Tips
- Avoid cutting on hard surfaces like glass, marble, or granite. Always use a wooden or plastic cutting board.
- Refrain from twisting or applying sideways pressure to the blade to prevent chipping or breakage.
- Periodically inspect your knife for any signs of wear or damage and address issues promptly to extend its lifespan.
By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your Tedzukuri Knives remain a reliable and durable tool in your kitchen for years to come.

Ordered the Kaigan 4 pc set. Quick delivery to NZ. Love the look and have received lots of compliments for them. They are also very comfortable to use.
Wish the cleaver was slightly sharper but that does not mean I’m anything but happy with these pretties.
The knife is incredibly sharp and just beautiful to work with. If you want something special, this is the knife to buy. It is simply an exquisite tool to use.

Read the reviews online, loved the paua design as my husband’s riding name is The Paua and decided to surprise him since he’s the cook in our house. And he LOVES his new knives! Very sharp, pretty design, he says they balance well in his hand and they look fabulous in our kitchen. If you’re hesitating because of the price, don’t. They’re worth the money
Pleased with my knives. I’m a vegetarian so don’t need the boning knife but the other 4 are excellent. Wish I had 2 of the chopping & paring knives instead. Pleased overall
