KYOCERA ADVANCED CERAMICS

STORAGE



Store in a knife block, sheath or tray. Do not store loose in a utensil drawer as it can get

damaged. Kyocera offers both block and sheath storage options.



Use caution when storing and removing the knife from a knife block to avoid tip damage.

MAINTENANCE

 All knives dull

over time. A soft metal blade [stainless steel] “rolls” as it becomes dull. Harder

metals [high carbon steel] hold their edge longer but dull differently. Harder materials are less

forgiving and tend to slightly chip instead of roll.

 Advanced ceramic blades start out sharper and stay sharper for a longer period. In time, you

may notice micro nicks on the blade’s edge. This is normal for any hard material that dulls over

time. Despite the appearance, the existence of microchips does not mean the knife is dull. You

will find that it still performs well. However, if you want to maintain that perfect, ultra-sharp

edge we recommend purchasing a KYOCERA diamond wheel sharpener.

 KYOCERA OFFERS SHARPENING SERVICES to remove larger chips and broken tips that can be

corrected by reforming and resharpening the blade. Please note we only sharpen Kyocera

knives for U.S. and Canada residents only. Current shipping and processing fees apply and are

subject to change. Sharpening fees: USD $12.00/1

knife + $7.00/each additional knife.

Shipping and handling: USD $9.00 flat fee.
