Maintenance & Care

Proper care ensures the longevity of your knives and knife block:

• Hand wash only - do not clean in the dishwasher
• Maintain sharpness by regularly using a sharpening steel, honing steel, or knife sharpener (excluding serrated edge knives)
• Cut on a non-abrasive surface such as wood, bamboo, or plastic
• Avoid cutting frozen food
• Store your knives in a knife block or on a knife magnet
• Never store loose knives without edge protection in a drawer, as this can rapidly dull the blades

Sharpening Instructions

For keeping your knives sharp, follow these sharpening instructions:

1. Place the knife on a sharpening steel and lift the blade to a 15-degree angle.
2. Apply light pressure and draw the blade across the sharpening steel in an arc from heel to tip.
3. Alternate strokes on each side of the blade in a constant, deliberate motion until the edge is sharp.
