To maintain the performance and longevity of your Steel, follow these care steps:
Cleaning: After each use, hand wash the sharpening rod with warm water and mild soap. Use a soft sponge or cloth to gently clean the surface.
Drying: Air-dry the rod thoroughly before storing it. Ensure no moisture remains on the surface to prevent any potential corrosion or residue buildup.
Storage: Store the sharpening rod in a dry place, away from excessive humidity or extreme temperatures, to preserve its quality.
Avoid Harsh Materials: Do not use abrasive pads or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the diamond coating.
With proper care, your Opinel Honing Steel Sharpening Rod will remain an effective tool for maintaining razor-sharp blades.
