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.
• Dry immediately.
• Do not submerge in water for long periods of time.
• Sharpen straight-edged knives once a week with sharpening steel, whetstone or sharpener set to 25-degree angle. Sharpen serrated knives once a week with sharpening steel, whetstone or sharpener specifically designed for serrated blades. Sharpen more often if used extensively.
• Periodically apply linen oil or olive oil to handles to prevent wood from drying out.
• Store in knife block.
