Maintenance Guide to Prolong Your ATS‑34 Knife Service Life

Crafted in Japan, Drgskl kitchen knives adopt premium ATS‑34 high‑hardness alloy.

  

Outstanding sharpness comes with delicate edges,
  
And proper maintenance keeps your blade in pristine condition for years.

  

 

  

Rinse your knife with warm soft cloth straight after every use.

  

Never scour the blade with steel wool, which will scratch your finely‑honed cutting edge.
  
Wipe moisture off the blade thoroughly after cleaning to prevent steel rust spots.

  

  

  

Only use solid‑wood or resin cutting boards. 

  

Stay away from glass, ceramic and hard metal surfaces that wear down fine ATS‑34 edges.
  
Avoid slicing frozen meat and hard bones with thin‑bladed chef knives to stop edge chipping.

  

  

  

Store knives inside wooden knife blocks or magnetic knife holders. 

  

Prevent collisions with other tableware in loose drawers.
  
Hone your blade routinely with sharpening stones.

  

  

  

A premium artisan‑made knife is far more than kitchen hardware. 

  

Careful upkeep lets your ATS‑34 blade stay razor‑sharp through endless home‑cooking sessions.
