How to Care for your Kamikoto Knives

Kamikoto Knives are crafted with the utmost quality and precision and are intended to be used over many generations. 

With the right care, timely sharpening and careful storage, the owners of Kamikoto Knives are able to make this possible. 

To ensure everyone is able to use Kamikoto Knives to their fullest potential, we have created some key care instructions.

We pride ourselves in being masters of tradition and we uphold this by washing our knives in a traditional way. It is prudent that Kamikoto Knives are carefully hand-washed, as other ways of washing can cause damage to both the blade or handle of the knife.

Furthermore, Kamikoto Knives should also be washed and cared for after every use, using a mild soap and a soft clean towel. 

Also, it is important to pair your knives with the best possible accessories. Oftentimes, the best cutting boards to use with Kamikoto Knives are made of wood and we recommend using a Japanese whetstone for sharpening.

You can find Kamikoto’s own whetstone here.

At Kamikoto we are beyond passionate about our knives and want to ensure that everyone is able to experience them to their fullest potential. 

This is why we are dedicated to providing all knife owners with the right tools and instructions to care for their knives.
