The knife has a very thin and extremely hard blade.
If the sharpening stone on and peel off the steel to clear.
I use it professionally for about 5-6 years and only now has to worry for replacement.
And this is only due to improper sharpening part and pull my dear colleagues.
In budget you will probably not as quickly buy another must if one cultivates it.
So not in the dishwasher, and only with a mild cleaner and a sponge or dishcloth to clean.
Furthermore, it is optimal ausbalaciert (focus on index finger), thereby actually one of the lightest in its class.
Have lancer many knives had in hand but this is my favorite all-rounder.
Wüsthoff two thumbs up !!!
