Rub the handle from time to time with a wood care oil or neutral vegetable oil. It is best to use wooden boards or plastic cutting mats with medium strength as a cutting surface, glass or granite slabs will ruin the cutting edge even with the hardest steel. When storing, care should be taken to ensure that the cutting edge of the Kai Shun bread knife does not come into contact with other metallic objects.
