Care:

Wash and dry with a soft sponge, and safely store after use. Avoid cutting into bones, frozen foods, hard fruit pits.

Cutting Surface:

Recommended cutting surface: wood, rubberized boards and high-end composites, and quality plastics such as polyethene make acceptable cutting surfaces, and will help protect and prolong knife’s edge. AVOID glass, metal, countertops, and other rigid, non-forgiving surfaces.

Sharpening:

We recommend sharpening all quality Japanese knives on whetstones, as we believe they yield the best results for your knives.

Clear Filter
Size: (Pack of 1)
Vehicle: 2020 Honda Accord LX 1.5T CVT The stealership wanted $60 in my area to change this out. Just look up online how easy it is to do it yourself. Can easily be handled in a minute. The only real thing to note is that it took almost a full gas tank for the car's computer to re-learn how to idle smoothly again. Of course, this is because it learns to compensate for the old dirty filter. So it has to get used to the new/fresh one. Overall, the look and feel of this product is great. Very similar to OEM. After the idle smoothed out it's virtually identical in performance. Would recommend to anyone.
