To clean and maintain your knife, it is best to follow these steps: First, clean the blade with warm water and dish soap. Be sure to rinse and dry the blade thoroughly to prevent rust. Next, use a sharpening steel to hone the blade.
Next, use a sharpening steel to hone the blade. This will help maintain the edge and ensure the knife is in good working condition.
If the blade is very dirty or if food has stuck to it, you can use a soft-bristled brush to gently clean it. After cleaning and sharpening the blade, apply a thin layer of oil to the blade and handle.

A knife block or a drawer knife organizer is a good option, as it will protect the blade and prevent accidents.
To sharpen a knife, you will need a SHANZU sharpening stone or a knife sharpener. To use a sharpening stone, first soak the stone in water for about 10 minutes. Then, place the knife flat on the stone and tilt the blade so that it forms an angle of 10 to 15 degrees with the stone. Using long and steady strokes, move the blade back and forth on the stone, making sure to maintain the blade angle. After a few strokes, move the blade to the other side of the stone and repeat the process. You should sharpen the blade along its entire length, and you may need to repeat the operation several times to achieve the desired sharpness level.
What is Damascus steel?
The origin of the name "Damascus steel" is controversial: two Islamic scholars, Al-Kindi and Al-Biruni (circa 800-873 CE), both wrote about swords and sword steels based on the appearance, the geographic location where they were produced or forged, or the name of the smith. Both authors also mention the terms "Damascene" or "Damascus" when describing swords to some extent.
Based on these references, there are three possible sources for where the term "Damascus" comes from in the context of steel:
Al-Kindi calls swords forged in Damascus in Siberia "Damascene," but it is important to note that these swords are not described as having a wavy appearance on the steel surface. Al-Biruni refers to a swordsmith called Damascene who made crucible steel swords. In Arabic, the word "damas" means "watered," and Damascus blades are often described as having a water-like pattern on their surface.
The most common explanation is that the steel is named after the capital of Syria, Damascus, the largest city of the ancient Levant. It may refer to swords made or sold directly in Damascus, or simply to the appearance of the typical patterns, by comparison with damask fabrics, which are also named after Damascus.
What is German steel?
German knives are generally made of stainless steel, with a Rockwell hardness rating between 56 and 58. Stainless steel contains chromium. This lowers the Rockwell rating. The advantage is that the knife blade resists corrosion and rust.
Cooks generally agree that German-style stainless steel knife blades are more durable than Japanese-style blades. Its durability allows you to use it for more cutting and chopping tasks.
The softer characteristic of steel still allows for a sharp edge, but stainless steel will require you to sharpen and hone it more often. Softer steel also makes blade sharpening easier, although a stainless steel blade means a German knife will lose its edge faster than its Japanese counterpart, which is made of high carbon steel.
