Non-staining Japanese steel resists rust, corrosion, and discoloration. Precision made for strength and durability. The razor-sharp edge makes cutting and chopping a breeze, and is easy to maintain. Ergonomic handles are made from Santoprene for comfort and polypropylene for durability. It features textured finger points that provide slip resistance and a better grip. Each handle is engineered to gently widen where it meets the blade to help protect fingers. NSF is a global provider of public health and safety-based risk management solutions. It's a highly respected independent organisation that has rigorously tested and certified that Mercer Millennia knives have met their standard for safety, quality, and performance. The performance of a knife can be diminished if not cared for properly. Cutlery should never be washed in a dishwasher because intense heat and harsh detergents may cause the handle to deteriorate. Carefully wash by hand with soap and warm water, rinse and dry with a soft towel. Do not soak or submerge in water for long periods of time or use chlorine bleach because it can pit and discolour the blade. Avoid soaking in aluminium or stainless steel sinks because these metals may cause pitting on the blade. Store in a cutlery block or sheath to preserve the cutting edges and prevent injuries.
