What Customers Ask About This Product
Which knife should I use for what?
Use the chef's knife for most chopping and slicing, the utility knife for smaller slicing and trimming, and the paring knife for peeling and fine work. Together they cover almost every everyday job.
How often will it need sharpening?
Katana Saya suggest honing with a sharpening steel every few times you cook, and sharpening fully with a whetstone or roller sharpener every 3 to 6 months. Regular honing keeps the edge feeling sharp between sharpens.
In our experience...
Use the claw grip. Tuck your fingertips under your knuckles and rest the blade against them as you slice. Your fingers stay out of the way and every cut is more even.
Use a wooden or plastic board. Glass, stone and ceramic boards dull a fine edge fast. Wood and plastic give a little as you cut, which protects the blade.
Don't twist or lever the blade. Hard steel holds a keen edge but can chip if bent sideways, so lift food with the flat of the blade rather than prising.

Care & Use Instructions
Washing: Handwash only, with a soft cloth and mild washing-up liquid. The dishwasher blunts and chips blades and damages wooden handles.
Drying: Towel dry straight after washing, so the blade and the olive wood handle aren't left wet.
Storage: Keep it in its sheath, a knife block or another safe place, out of reach of children.
