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.
• Maintain cutting edges by regularly using honing steel.
• 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, 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.
