To ensure optimal performance and a long life for your Takamura Chromax Santoku knife, we recommend washing it by hand and drying it thoroughly after use. Avoid the dishwasher and harsh cleaning agents, as these can damage the knife's edge and finish. Store the knife in a knife block or on a magnetic knife holder to protect the edge.
Maintenance & use
Never cut into bones or frozen items as this may damage the egg. Always wash the knife by hand and dry it thoroughly immediately.
Please note that both the blade and handle can be seriously damaged and broken if the knife is washed in a dishwasher – this also applies to stainless steel and wooden handles.
