• Regularly sharpen the knife using the original Type 301 whetstone. Under no circumstances should a sharpening steel be used, as it will damage the blade.
• Store the knife in a safe, secure manner, for example, in a knife block so the blade is not left exposed.
• Only use wooden or plastic cutting boards, never marble or glass when cutting with a Type 301.
• Only use the knife to prepare food. Do not use it to cut frozen foods, bones, or as a utility knife. – P40 – 2 – A64-1
