Care: Wash and dry by hand (not dishwasher safe). Although this knife is made from a semi-stainless steel cutting core, the core steel on the cutting edge may patina and change color over time. This is normal and not a defect as the knife develops this protective patina. This knife is made from semi-stainless steel with stainless steel cladding, so it will not rust as easily as a full carbon steel knife, but care must still be taken to preserve its beauty and performance.
