No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the titanium coating and the sharpness of the edge, we recommend hand washing with warm water and mild soap, then drying immediately.
The titanium coating adds a layer of protection that enhances the blade's overall strength and durability. It also provides superior resistance to rust and corrosion, which is particularly helpful if you plan to use the knife in damp or outdoor environments.

The blade is hand-sharpened to an angle of 16-18 degrees per side. This provides a balance between a razor-sharp edge for precision cutting and the durability needed for more robust tasks.
