Questions answered
Hand wash the Shun Premier Utility 6.5" Knife with gentle dish soap rather than in the dishwasher, and dry it very thoroughly with an absorbent towel. Use a cutting board soft enough to take a slight cut line, avoid hard surfaces, bones, joints, frozen foods, and pits, and never pry or twist with the blade. Store it in a block, case, in-drawer holder, sheath, magnetic bar, or the original box.
