Pro Tip: Premium high-carbon steel blades hold an edge beautifully but are susceptible to oxidation if left wet. To keep your N°07 in pristine condition, avoid damp environments, always wipe the blade completely dry after each use, and occasionally apply a thin coat of food-safe mineral oil. Over time, it will develop a handsome, deep patina unique to your tasks!
