Care instructions

Aogami steel is a carbon steel that may rust. Clean the blade by hand after use, dry it immediately, and apply a thin layer of suitable protective oil for long-term storage.

Avoid dishwashers, prolonged moisture, and abrasive products. Maintain the edge with a suitable sharpening stone.

The traditional Higonokami does not have a modern blade lock: keep the chikiri lever pressed with your thumb during use and avoid any pressure that may cause the blade to close.

This knife is a sharp tool intended for appropriate use. Its possession, transport, and use may be subject to legal restrictions depending on the country.
