Store either in a knife block, in a drawer or ideally on a magnetic knife rack.  Wash your blade with hot water before first use and dry thoroughly. After each use, it is good practice to wash your blade under hot water, to dry with a dishcloth immediately and then to store it away. Use a wooden or synthetic board for chopping. Stone or glass will dull your blade. After slicing through acidic foodstuffs such as lemons, limes or tomatoes, wash and dry your knife straight away, because if left, the acids will begin to damage the steel, leaving spots.  Dimensions: 20cm
