Miwa Hamono

No, Miwa Hamono knives should not be washed in the dishwasher. To prevent damage to your knife and ensure it lasts you for years to come, please wash the knife by hand with a mild detergent and gentle sponge.

We recommend that, after each use, you wash the knife by hand using a mild detergent and gentle sponge. Rinse clean and wipe with a soft dish towel until completely dry. Store in a dry place.

A Miwa Hamono knife is made of Aogami No.1 Blue Steel with stainless steel cladding. Thus, it is rust resistant and low maintenance when compared to pure carbon steel knives. However, rust can still occasionally form even on stainless steel knives, so be sure to dry your knife completely before putting it away and to store in a dry place to prevent rust from forming.
