Use & Care

Use

  • Always use caution when handling sharp objects.

  • Avoid cutting on hard surfaces such as stone, metal and glass.

  • It is not advisable to use any knife but a meat cleaver to cut through bone, as other blades can be easily damaged.

Care

  • Hand-wash with warm water and mild detergent.

  • Rinse and dry immediately.

  • Avoid using cleaners containing bleach and citrus extracts.

  • Sharpen as needed. With regular use and honing, knives should not need sharpening more than once or twice per year.

  • Sharpen straight-edge knives using whetstone or knife sharpener designed to sharpen at a 16-degree angle, or have them sharpened by a professional.

  • Sharpen serrated knives using sharpener specifically designed for serrated blade or have them sharpened by a professional.

  • Store knives in safe place to protect edges and prevent injury.
