Absolutely. Steel Sensei knives are built to last. We offer a 100-year manufacturer’s warranty that covers any defects in material or workmanship. This tool is an investment, and we are here to protect it.

No. Like all professional-grade high carbon steel instruments, these knives should never be placed in a dishwasher. The high heat, harsh detergents, and rattling will damage the blade edge and handle materials. To keep your knife in pristine condition for a lifetime, simply hand wash with mild soap, wipe dry immediately, and store safely.

Our knives arrive razor-sharp out of the box. High carbon steel holds an edge significantly longer than standard stainless steel, but all knives eventually need maintenance. We recommend honing with a ceramic rod occasionally to maintain the laser-sharp edge.
