Is this normal with wear, or am I cleaning my knives too aggressively? I’ve owned this Shun premier for about 4 years now

   I would just use the soft side of the sponge, the rough side will defenetly mark and scuff the shiny surface of a knife. I keep and older sponge just for my knives when ot comes the rare time to clean some stubborn residue, a brand new sponge loses most of the abrasive particles that are loaded in the rough side as you use them.

   Recently I also starterd ignoring very cheap sponges in favour of slightly more expensive ones, that rely on the texture of the scrubby side more than on the abrasives contained in regular ones. They are sold as “non aggressive” or “gentle” sponges some times

   Normal if you have used hard side of sponge. What is the same as scotch brite
