Yes, because it is a natural wood, you should avoid soaking the handle in water or putting it in the dishwasher. Periodically applying a food-safe mineral oil will help maintain the wood's luster and prevent it from drying out over time.

The magnetic walnut sheath is designed to protect the blade's sharp edge when the knife is stored in a drawer. It also keeps your fingers safe while reaching into your storage area and helps prevent the blade from coming into contact with other utensils.
