Congratulations, you have just purchased a professional knife – Vintage – Au Carbone. Its exceptional cutting power and its re-sharpening are superior to a Stainless Steel Knife.

However we wish to draw your attention to the maintenance of a knife made with Carbon Steel :

1 – After using, wash your carbon steel knife in warm soapy water and immediately wipe dry.

2 – Never put a Carbon Knife in the dishwasher.

3 – With time, the steel can change colour. This is quite normal. This is a perfectly natural occurrence without risk.

To protect the blade from the water and to avoid the rust, we grease our Carbon Knives.

4 – A regular sharpening maintenance is necessary to have a perfect cutting edge.
