Seki Magoroku quality knives need a certain amount of care to ensure you enjoy their sharpness for years to come.

Before using Seki Magoroku knives for the first time, clean them with hot water. After each use, clean them under running water and dry them with a soft cloth—avoid using aggressive detergents. For safety, always wipe the knife with a towel or cloth from the back of the blade toward the edge. Rinse off aggressive agents like lemon juice immediately after use.
Never put knives in a dishwasher, as this can damage both the material and the sharpness of the edge. Avoid cutting on glass or granite cutting boards, as they can ruin even the hardest steel. Use only wooden, wood composite, or synthetic cutting boards with medium firmness.
When using, ensure the blade does not strike hard materials. The blade can be damaged when cutting around bones, frozen foods, thick-skinned vegetables like butternut squash, or other tough objects.
Knives with natural wood handles should not remain in water for extended periods. Occasionally oil the handle with neutral vegetable oil.
For storage, ensure the knife’s edge doesn’t come in contact with other metallic objects to prevent damage. Store knives in a knife block, wooden drawer insert, or on a wall-mounted magnet board. Japanese blades are best kept in a wooden sheath.
