FAQs
Are TEGAMI knives dishwasher safe?
To preserve the blade's edge, handle material, and the beauty of the Damascus pattern, we recommend hand washing with mild soap and drying immediately. Please note that damage from dishwasher use is not covered under our lifetime warranty.
Do the knives come sharpened out of the box?
Yes. Every TEGAMI knife is hand-sharpened by master artisans and arrives razor-sharp, ready for use right out of the box.
How do I maintain the blade's sharpness?
Use a honing rod regularly to maintain the edge between sharpenings. When the blade eventually dulls, we recommend professional sharpening or using a whetstone to preserve the blade's integrity.

Can I use these knives to cut frozen foods or bones?
TEGAMI knives are precision instruments designed for cutting boneless meats, fish, vegetables, and fruits. Cutting frozen foods, bones, or hard-shell items may damage the blade, and such damage is not covered under our lifetime warranty.
What is Damascus steel, and why is it special?
Damascus steel consists of multiple layers of steel forged together, creating exceptional strength, durability, and a distinctive wavy pattern. Our knives feature 67 layers of premium Damascus steel with a VG-10 core, offering superior edge retention and corrosion resistance.
Is the lifetime warranty included with sets?
Yes. Every knife in your set is covered under our lifetime warranty against manufacturer's defects, regardless of whether purchased individually or as part of a collection.
Can I buy replacement knives if I lose one from my set?
Yes. All TEGAMI knives are available for individual purchase, so you can easily replace or add to your collection at any time.
What is the difference between the Chef's Knife and the Santoku?
The Chef's Knife (10" blade) is ideal for heavy-duty chopping, rocking cuts, and handling larger ingredients like melons or roasts. The Santoku (7.5" blade) features a granton edge that prevents food from sticking and excels at slicing, dicing, and mincing—especially vegetables.
What is the utility knife used for? Can guests use it at the table?
The Utility Knife is a versatile tool perfect for small, precise tasks like peeling fruit, trimming vegetables, and slicing sandwiches. It is also an excellent choice for guest serving—ideal for cheese, charcuterie, fruit, and bread directly at the table.
How should I store my TEGAMI knives?
Store your knives in a knife block, on a magnetic strip, or in their original packaging to protect the edge and ensure safety. Avoid storing loose in drawers where blades can be damaged or cause injury.
Do you ship internationally?
