* The black coating is not indestructible, it will wipe off after some time (specially after contact with acidic products) and it will be replaced with patina. Stainless steel dots will always stay bright (there is always a contrast between them).
Knife care
Note! The blade is made of carbon steel (not stainless) - it may rust and there will appear colorful patina on the blade. Check the "knife care" section for information about the maintenance.
