Nuz Knives No. 2 - The Farmer Knife with American White Ash Handle Care & Maintenance

• Cleaning & Normal Use:
  • Use a wooden chopping board over a plastic one.
  • Handwash using warm soapy water - do not put in the dishwasher.
  • Thoroughly dry.
  • Lay the blade flat on a chopping board and use a Scotch-Brite scouring pad to gently clean away any surface rust that develops. 
  • Occasional oiling with olive or vegetable oil for rust protection.
• Storage: 
  • Store in the protective cover supplied with your Nuz knife. 
  • Store in a knife block or magnetic wall strip. 
• Sharpening: 
  • Recommend the use of a diamond sharpener or oilstone occasionally. 
  • Never use a pull through knife sharpener - this will destroy the cutting edge. 
  • Test the sharpness of your Nuz knife by slicing through a sheet of paper - a sharp blade will not catch or rip the paper.
