Looking after it

A Japanese blade rewards ten seconds of care. Here is all it asks.

Hand wash, never the dishwasherDishwasher salt and heat dull the edge and attack high-carbon steel. Warm water, a little soap, done in ten seconds.
Dry it straight awayAUS-10 is stainless and resists rust well, but even stainless steel can spot when it is left wet on the draining board.
Use a wooden or plastic boardGlass, stone and steel boards ruin an edge faster than any amount of cutting.
Hone now and thenA few strokes on a honing rod keeps the edge straight. Sharpening itself is rarely needed in the first year.

Questions people ask

Is it sharp when it arrives?

Yes. Every knife is sharpened and hand-finished before it is packed, so it cuts properly from the first time you use it.

Can it go in the dishwasher?

No. AUS-10 is high-carbon steel: dishwasher heat and salt dull the edge and can cause spotting. Hand wash and dry it — it takes seconds.

How long will it last?

A lifetime, if you look after it: hand wash it, dry it straight away and hone it now and then. Something wrong with the knife itself? Mail sales@onicraft.online and I will sort it out.

How long does delivery take?

Shipping is free, with track & trace. Most knives arrive in the Netherlands in 2-4 working days (elsewhere in Europe 6-10). Some take 11-22 days: the product page shows the delivery time for each knife.

Can I send it back?

Yes, within 14 days, as long as it's unused: as it came out of the box and in its packaging. Shipping & returns explains how it works.

Do you sell to shops?

Yes. There are wholesale prices and a catalogue for retailers — see the wholesale page.

How can I pay?

Pay securely with iDEAL, credit card and Klarna. You'll get a track & trace code as soon as your knife ships.
