WARNING

The teflon coating on the blade of this knife will scratch or show signs of wear after a while, especially if you scrub it with a coarse sponge during cleaning.

When sharpening the knife, you normally sharpen just the very edge (the bare metal part). However, after a while you will need to thin out the blade by removing some material from the upper part where it's coated. Naturally, in doing so, the coating will come off.
