After each use, you should clean your roller knife and dry it thoroughly to prevent corrosion. The blade is not rustproof and should therefore be stored particularly dry. The beechwood handle benefits from occasional oiling with a suitable wood care oil to preserve its natural beauty and resilience. Sharpen the blade as needed with a whetstone or a suitable sharpening device to maintain optimal performance.
