Summary

Use & Care

Use

• Always use caution when handling sharp objects.
• Avoid cutting on hard surfaces such as stone, metal or glass.
• It is not advisable to use any knife but a meat cleaver to cut through bone or frozen food, as the blade can be easily damaged.

Care

• Hand-wash with warm water and a mild detergent. Rinse and dry immediately.
• Use honing steel only when you feel knife has lost some of its original sharpness, usually no sooner than 6 months after first use. As you continue to use your Global knife, it will require more frequent honing. If you need to hone your knife more than once every 2 weeks, it's time to have it sharpened.
• Sharpen knife at home using whetstone or knife sharpener, or have it sharpened by a professional.
• Store in safe place to protect edge and prevent injury.
