Care Note
52100 is a carbon steel. It will naturally develop a protective patina with use. As with all our knives, hand-wash and dry promptly after each use, and avoid leaving it wet or in contact with acidic foods for long periods. With simple care, the blade will last a lifetime.
Monolith Knives Warranty All our blades are backed by a lifetime warranty. Any defects in materials or craftsmanship will be repaired or replaced free of charge, including return shipping. Damage from use will be evaluated case-by-case.
