Handcrafted in Seki City, Japan.HIGH QUALITY KITCHEN KNIVESThe blades of Japanese kitchen knives are made of extremely hard and thin metal. This is why they should never be twisted or used to chop hard products, such as icy or bony meats or coconut. In addition, you should not open tin cans with these knives. Pieces can break off the blade.High quality kitchen knives should not be washed in a dishwashing machine. It is recommended that these knives be rinsed and dried up directly after use. After cutting poultry, fish, or garlic, it is wise to use a bit of dishwashing liquid when washing these kitchen knives. Machine dishwashing detergent hardens the water, making the blade go dull. The blade will get dull even if the knife has a separate place in the dishwasher. In addition, the handle is damaged in the dishwasher and the blade can even come off the handle!Knives should be stored in such a manner that the blades cannot get scraped into other metals, which is bound to happen if you keep your kitchen knives in the same drawer with other small kitchen utensils.Yaxell Super GOU Damascus kitchen knives are packed in elegant gift boxes.
