    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.

    A great, small wristlet purse.
    Color: Black
    I purchased an ivory and navy blue GAYI URBAN clutch bag and love them! Small, Cute, classy and surprising how much you can fit in the purse! I also purchased a black one that smells like dead fish and am returning that one. That is disappointing.

    Great quality and tons of room!
    Color: Cream
    I was skeptical at the quality given the price but it’s strong material and fits my iPhone 16, keys, compact mirror, lipstick, multiple credit cards (the very back slot is deeper to allow for more than one card). Even with all that stuff in there, I still have plenty of room to add a few more items if I wanted to. Going to buy this clutch in another color and maybe gift to some of my friends for Christmas/birthdays!
