Care instructions

Blade wear depends on steel quality, usage, and care. Our Hocho knives are made from high-quality Damascus and composite steels – with proper care, your knife will remain sharp and reliable for many years.

Here's how to keep your knife in top condition:
✔ Always cut on wooden, plastic, or rubber boards.
✔ Wash your knife by hand after each use and dry it immediately.
✔ Store it safely in a knife block, magnetic strip holder, or knife sheath.
✔ A clean cutting technique noticeably extends the sharpness of the blade.
✔ Sharpening stones are best suited for resharpening.

You should avoid this:

❗️ Never leave your knife in the sink – clean it immediately.
❗️ Do not clean in the dishwasher.
❗️ Do not cut on glass, ceramic, marble or steel surfaces.
❗️ Do not use the cutting edge to push food off the board – use the back of the blade instead.
❗️ Use your knife only for cutting food – not as a can opener, screwdriver or hammer.
