How do I care for a Steak knife?

Hand-wash with warm water and mild detergent, then dry immediately — never leave a Japanese knife soaking or air-drying on a rack. Avoid the dishwasher entirely. Use a wood or soft-plastic cutting board (not glass, ceramic, or stone) to preserve the edge. For sharpening, use whetstones in the 1000-grit range for maintenance and 3000–6000 grit for finishing. Carbon-steel blades benefit from a thin coat of food-safe camellia or mineral oil between uses to prevent oxidation.
