Cutting surface
- Soft woods, such as hinoki, are preferred. Tile, ceramic, synthetic, marble, granite, or any kind of glass cutting boards are not recommended and can be very hard on your knives.
Cleaning and Storage
- Shun recommends that you protect your investment by handwashing your blades with gentle dish soap.
- Don't use soaps with citrus extracts or bleach; they can promote corrosion.
- Do not use scouring pads, steel, or gritty cleanser when cleaning the blades.
- Rinse and towel dry immediately.
- After you have washed and dried your knives, store them in a block, knife case, in-drawer tray, or sheath.
