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