Ocean Azure: Quick Care Guide

To preserve the 600-year legacy of your hand-forged Sakai steel, follow these essential steps:

• Hand Wash Only: Never use a dishwasher. Use mild soap and warm water.
• Dry Immediately: Wipe the blade bone-dry right after washing to prevent rust or patina spots.
• Cutting Surfaces: Use only wood or soft plastic cutting boards. Avoid glass, marble, or ceramic.
• Protect the Edge: Do not cut through bones, frozen foods, or hard pits. Use a slicing motion, not a twisting or prying motion.
• Storage: Store in a knife block, on a magnetic strip, or in the original box. Avoid loose drawer storage.
• Maintenance: Sharpen only with whetstones. Occasionally rub food-safe mineral oil into the wooden handle to keep it hydrated.

Proper care ensures your Ocean Azure set lasts a lifetime.
