Sharpening & Maintenance

Your fillet knife will perform at its best with proper care:

1. Hand-wash only with mild soap and dry immediately after use.
2. Do not place in a dishwasher — heat and detergent can damage both blade and handle.
3. Avoid soaking or prolonged exposure to water.
4. Hone regularly using a fine diamond or ceramic rod to maintain its edge.
5. Sharpen as needed with a whetstone or fine-edge sharpening tool.
