This item was stored for a long time at my deceased grandparents' home (they originally ran a hardware store), but it's in good condition with minimal aging and is unused. Unlike stainless steel or ceramic, this item requires careful maintenance. [Care Instructions] Immediately after use, wash with a mild detergent and a soft sponge, rinsing thoroughly to remove all dirt. Pour hot water over the item to evaporate the water, then wipe off any remaining moisture and store in a well-ventilated place. Applying a thin layer of oil to the blade regularly will prevent rust. Wipe off moisture frequently during use. Please check the photos for the condition. Additional photos are available upon request. Thank you for looking.
