What is SLD Stainless?
SLD steel was originally designed by Hitachi as high-performance cold work die steel for cutting other steels. Being used in dies for punching or stamping other metals SLD stainless improved mold lifespan and ease of fabrication.
So how does that fit in with kitchen knife manufacture you ask?
Blacksmiths used SLD stainless when making quality kitchen knives because it's hard, tough, and strong against wearing so they could create knives that will hold their edge as long as carbon steel knives but are much easier to look after and maintain.

Washing – Hand wash with soapy water, rinse the blade with Hot water. Dry your knives as soon as possible after washing and do not leave them wet for extended periods of time. Do not wash in a dishwasher!

Storage – Store in a cool, dry place. Do not store in cutlery draw with other knives. Use a knife rack or at a minimum a cover for the knife to protect the edge

Sharpening - It is recommended to sharpen these knives to a fine edge on a Japanese Whetstone. However, for touch-up sharpening, you can use a Ceramic Steel and a 2 or 3 Wheel Japanese Water sharpener as these are designed for the angle of bevel angle of Japanese knives.
