Ceramic knives cannot be sharpened with ordinary whetstones.
Please use a whetstone designed specifically for ceramic knives (such as a diamond whetstone), which is sold separately.
Precautions and care instructions for “matou-磨刀-”
Ceramic is not a metal, but a type of pottery. Therefore, please note that the blade may chip or crack if subjected to strong impact or excessive force, such as twisting or bending.
For the above reason, please note that the blade may chip or crack if you try to cut hard objects (*).
Do not clean with a metal scrubber. Ceramic is harder than metal, so using a metal scrubber may cause the scrubber to wear down and the blade to become stained black with metal powder.
*Pumpkin, frozen foods (partially thawed foods), mochi, meat and fish with bones, crab, corn, fruit seeds, etc.
Please refrain from using dishwashers or dish dryers.
Wash by hand and store in a place where it can dry naturally.
Due to the use of natural materials such as water buffalo horn and wood in the handles, there may be individual differences.
The actual color and texture may differ from the photo.
