Matsui MKF100 Instruction Manual

To sharpen the Matsui MKF100 Knife, use a whetstone at a 15-degree angle. Start with a coarse grit and progress to a finer grit for a razor-sharp edge. Regularly honing the knife with a honing steel can also maintain its sharpness.
Clean the Matsui MKF100 Knife with warm water and mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive sponges. Dry immediately with a soft cloth to prevent rusting. Never put it in the dishwasher as it can damage the blade and handle.
If the handle of your Matsui MKF100 Knife becomes loose, check the rivets for damage. If they are intact, tightening them may help. If not, consult a professional to replace or repair the handle to ensure safe usage.
The Matsui MKF100 Knife is not designed for cutting through bones. Doing so may damage the blade. Use a cleaver or a specialized boning knife for such tasks to maintain the integrity of the MKF100 Knife.
