Usage Tips:
After use, the knife should be washed and preferably dried or left to air dry on a rack.
Washing knives in a dishwasher is not permissible. The chemicals used in dishwashers can lead to discoloration on the blade, permanently damage the handle or the blade itself.
Proper knife storage is also important. Magnetic strips and magnetic boards are highly recommended as they protect the knife during its "rest" time while working in the kitchen. Traditional slot blocks require attention when inserting and removing knives to avoid damage to the blade. Also, remember to thoroughly dry them before storing since the closed block construction does not provide good knife ventilation.
Preserving the quality of the blades also involves the proper use of cutting boards. Wooden and bamboo boards are recommended, while glass and stone boards are definitely discouraged.
In addition, be sure not to cut frozen products, items with bones, or immerse the blade in boiling water during the thermal processing of prepared dishes.
Kitchen knives that haven't been used for a long time can be oiled with camellia oil to keep them in good condition.
Following these guidelines will allow you to enjoy the benefits of these beautifully crafted, perfectly sharp knives for many years.
Ultimate Aranami
The complex process of forging the braided alternating 32-layer VG-10 and VG-2 stainless steel has allowed the manufacturer to obtain the most exclusive knives in their range. The Ultimate Aranami collection, in addition to its beautiful, rust-free blade with an "oceanic" pattern, features a handle made of red pakka wood with a steel ferrule. The entire set is packaged in an elegant Paulownia wood box, which absorbs moisture, making it ideal for gifting and safe knife storage in the kitchen drawer.
