Pro Tip: Because the N°112 is built with a premium varnished hornbeam handle, it is highly resilient against daily kitchen moisture. However, to preserve the natural beauty and structural integrity of the timber, always hand-wash the knife with warm, soapy water after use and wipe it completely dry immediately—never place it in the dishwasher or leave it submerged in a wet sink. Keep the blade touch-up simple with a standard sharpening steel or stone, and it will remain a favourite kitchen companion for years to come!
