- These knives are not rust resistant and sensitive to oxidation. Over time a patina will develop, but this is easily removed with a medium abrasive pad and some steel polish.
These knives are sharpened from the forge to approximately grit 2000, making them sharp but not "razor sharp". If you would like to have the knives polished, you can have us do this. Add our "Edge polishing service" to your order and we will then polish the edge to 12,000 grit for a razor-sharp result.
Like all Japanese knives, the handmade Sadamune knives are not dishwasher safe, cleaning and drying after each use is the best treatment for these exclusive products.
There are no wooden Sayas available for this knife.
