ABOUT BLUE STEEL:
Blue Steel is a highly reactive carbon steel , which means that it rusts easily and will require a higher amount of maintenance. Blue steel is excellent in edge retention but, due to the high carbon content, is more brittle and can be prone to chipping.

USE AND CARE:
- Do not attempt to cut, hit or chop frozen products or bones. The blade can chip or break.
- Hand wash with warm water and towel dry.
- Use a sharpening stone to maintain the sharpness of the blade.
- Do not use a dishwasher to clean your knife.
