Clean knife with a wet cloth and dishwashing detergent. Dry immediately, from back of knife to blade. Carbon steel develops a natural dark patina over time. No metal is completely stain-free. Be sure to remove acidic foods (lemon, mustard, ketchup, etc.) from the blade after use. If blade should show some signs of staining, clean with nonabrasive metal polish. To prevent irreparable blade damage, it is best to store your knife in the presentation box, a knife block or in-drawer knife tray. Ballistol oil included for blade and handle maintenance. Sharpening blade: Wusthof recommends using a ceramic or diamond-coated sharpener or whetstone.
