Care: Wash and dry by hand (not dishwasher safe). Although this knife is made from semi-stainless steel, the core steel on the cutting edge may change color and form a protective patina over time. This is normal and not a defect. This knife is made from SLD semi-stainless steel with stainless steel cladding, so it will not rust as easily as a full carbon steel knife, but care must still be taken to preserve its beauty and performance.
