Repair and restoration of the cutting edge of the elite cook knives set of Seki Kanetsugu. 

The first service in a year and a half, from the moment of purchase at the 19th Steel Edge exhibition in Kiev.

Re-sharpening on such a period, it is necessary for any knife, with active use.
There are no eternal things, especially in the field of thin instruments, with which something is cut, chopped, etc.
This is absolutely normal, and natural.

High-quality materials and an accurate fit of all details, allowed the excellent Santoku SAIUN 9003 and Paring knife SAIUN 9000 from Kanetsugu to go this distance with dignity.
Micarta handle and steel on the flat, have many scuffs and it is clearly visible that they were regularly washed in the dishwasher.
This has aged them externally, since aggressive detergents are used for dishwashers.
Functionality completely not harmed. That is, in addition to visual scuffs, everything is in perfect condition.
Damages, and a blunted cutting edge, quickly and without surprises are made like a dangerous razor.
 

The main thing that can be recommended is if you want to preserve the appearance of your blade, wash it manually, with soft sponges without an abrasive surface.
In this case, the knife will not differ from the new for many years.
