MetroKitchen.com recommends washing your knives by hand; then immediately drying them. Do not let your knives soak in water.
For longer lasting knives, cut on a wooden cutting board. Cutting on hard surfaces such as stone, metal or glass quickly dulls blades.
Store your Kyocera knife so the edge and your fingers are protected, preferably in a block or in-drawer knife tray.
Do not use any Kyocera knife to chop bones. We suggest using a meat cleaver when you need to cut through bone, otherwise you will damage your Kyocera knife blade.
Kyocera knives don't need frequent sharpening because they are made from extremely durable ceramic. If you want to have them sharpened, Kyocera can do that for you. Contact them at 1-800-537-0294 (M-F, 8-5, PST)

Kyocera Kyotop HIP 4 1/2 inch Ceramic Utility Knife - Damascus Style
This Kyocera Kyotop HIP 4.5 inch utility knife has an almost diamond-hard blade because it has undergone Kyocera's "HIP" process. HIP means that the blade has undergone a pressurized firing method. This enables the knife to outlast other ceramic knives as well as steel ones. This Kyocera utility knife also won't ever stain or rust because of Kyocera's advanced ceramic. The Pakkawood blade has a beautiful wooden appearance that's moisture-proof because it's made from a combination of resin and hardwood.
