Care and everyday use
It is at its best for small slicing, peeling and detail. The stainless steel keeps maintenance low: hand wash and dry the blade after use, keep it off bone and frozen food, and touch up the edge on a whetstone when it starts to slow. There is no need to oil the blade, which makes it a forgiving choice for everyday cooking.

Great petty. Took a light touch-up on the stones to get it exactly how I like it, then flawless.

Scary sharp out of the box. Glides through onions and tomatoes with zero effort.

Feels fantastic in the hand and the mirror-polished finish looks even better in person.

The Ginsan takes a wicked edge. Fit and finish are excellent for the price.
