Maintenance:
Kitchen knives made of stainless steel, including the Kenta Nakiri model, are easier to maintain compared to carbon steel knives. The addition of elements like chromium and vanadium makes them more resistant to corrosion and wear. However, to keep the knife in perfect condition, it is recommended to wash and thoroughly dry it after each use. When storing the knife in a block, ensure it is completely dry to avoid the risk of rust.
For long-term storage, you can coat the blade with camellia oil to maintain its condition. It is not recommended to wash knives in a dishwasher, as the chemicals and high temperatures can damage the handle and temper the cutting edge.
The molybdenum-vanadium steel used in this knife is high-quality stainless steel, known for its durability, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. Hardened to a range of 56-58 HRC, this steel is resistant to chipping and very easy to sharpen, ensuring the Kenta Nakiri knife is always ready for use.
