Wash it by hand with non-abrasive materials and wipe it dry; a dishwasher is not recommended, and the knife should not be left in the sink for long. Cut on wooden or plastic boards, never on glass, leave bones to a SAMURA cleaver and frozen food to a double-sided saw knife with a serrated blade, and keep the knife in a brush block or knife holder where the blade does not touch metal items. Use a honing rod between sharpenings and resharpen on a whetstone at the original factory bevel angle of 15–17°.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Harakiri series\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eHarakiri is a sleek, modern SAMURA series of lightweight knives with corrosion-resistant AUS-8 steel blades in the classic European style, and you will find the rest of the range in the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/harakiri\"\u003eHarakiri collection\u003c\/a\u003e.
