Care

Proper maintenance of your small chef knife carbon steel is crucial. Since it is made from carbon steel, washing it by hand and drying it immediately after use are necessary to prevent rusting. Avoid the dishwasher at all costs, as recommended by Roselli. When using the knife, it will develop a gray patina over time, which is a normal characteristic of carbon steel.
