Knives from the Yasashi Ōkami collection are precision tools that require conscious handling. To maintain its technical parameters, observe key rules:

  1. Basic: Wash by hand only and dry immediately. High carbon steel does not tolerate moisture.
  2. Knife protection: Do not store the blade loose. A wooden Saya sheath or a dedicated case is a good way to protect the cutting edge from damage.
  3. Knife care: Carbon steel needs a barrier. Regular use of natural Tsubaki oil prevents corrosion and protects the metal structure.

Invest in appropriate accessories so that your tool serves for generations.
