- Storing: If you’re storing your knife for an extended period, consider using anti-corrosion storage solutions like silica gel packets or anti-rust strips. Store your knife in a cool, dry place.
- Regular Inspection: Always inspect your knife for signs of wear, damage, or rust before and after cleaning. Address any issues immediately to ensure the knife’s longevity.
