Your details determine the life of the knife
Shinbu knives are made of high-quality special steel, mostly with wooden handles to enhance the texture of the knives. At this time, you need to pay attention to daily care to extend their service life.
1. How to clean the knife after use
· Use tools to clean: Try to avoid putting the knife in the dishwasher, because the high temperature and strong cleaning in the dishwasher may damage the surface of the knife; you can use a sponge/dishcloth with mild detergent to clean the knife. (Do not wash directly with your hands to avoid scratches)
· Avoid soaking: The knife should not be soaked in water for a long time to prevent rust. After cleaning, wipe the moisture on the surface of the knife with a dry cloth to avoid damage to the wooden handle due to excessive moisture.
2. How to extend the service life of the knife
· Dry after use: After each use of the knife, it must be thoroughly dried, especially the knives with wooden handles.
· Storage method: The knife should be stored in a dry place to avoid humid environments. You can use a knife holder or scabbard to protect the blade and avoid friction with other objects.
· Use oil: For knives with wooden handles, you can use some oil to apply on the surface to increase the brightness and prevent the handle from mold.
· Avoid heavy blows: In addition to cutting bones, Japanese knives are exquisitely designed, with sharp but thin edges, which are not suitable for cutting hard objects such as bones, etc., to avoid damage to the blade.
3. Correct storage of knives
· Placement method: The knives can be hung on a special knife rack or placed separately, avoiding random placement, avoiding direct contact with other knives or objects, and avoiding damage to the blade.
· Check the blade regularly: Check the wear of the blade regularly, and maintain the sharpness in time through correct sharpening.
Daily maintenance of the knives can not only keep the sharpness of the knives, but also extend the service life of the knives. I hope you can better enjoy the cooking fun brought by Japanese knives in daily maintenance.
