Japanese knives are often made of beautiful natural wood handles, and if you start sharpening without curing them, they may get dirty.
In our store, we sharpen knives after curing all items that may be dirty.
If you are sharpening your knives at home, why not add a little extra care to your knife sharpening?
This way, you can sharpen your knives without getting them dirty.
