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 the honing steel only when knife has lost some of its original sharpness, usually no sooner than six months after its 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 two weeks, it is time to have it sharpened.
• Sharpen knife at home using a whetstone or knife sharpener, or have it sharpened by a professional.
• Store knife in a safe place to protect its edge and prevent injury.
