Care and Maintenance

Aogami Super is a high-carbon steel and not stainless. To avoid rust and corrosion:

• Wipe dry immediately after use – do not air-dry.
• Avoid storing in humid environments.
• Apply camellia oil or food-grade oil if stored long-term.
• Do not cut acidic foods without quick cleaning afterward (citrus, onions, etc.).
• Only hand-wash with mild detergent – never put it in the dishwasher.

If discoloration appears, use gentle kitchen surface cleaners (e.g., cream-type like Cif) and a sponge for non-stick coatings to avoid scratching.
