General knife care tips and warnings

• Never wash knives in the dishwasher
  
• Stain-resistant knives are not stainless.
  
• Improper care will result in rusting and chipping.
  
• Please wipe knives dry after use to prevent rusting.
  
• Western style knives sold at KORIN have significantly thinner blades than typical Western knives. Use of honing steels or sharpening machines may result in chipping.
  
• We advice all customers to always use sharpening stones to sharpen or hone knives.
