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, as other blades can be easily damaged.

Care

• Hand-wash with warm water and mild detergent. Rinse and dry immediately.
• Use honing steel regularly to maintain cutting edges of blades.
• Sharpen as needed. With regular use and honing, knives should not need sharpening more than once or twice a year.
