    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.
    • Avoid cleaners containing bleach and citrus extracts. 
    • Sharpen as needed. With regular use and honing once a week, you should not need to sharpen knife more than once or twice a year. 
    • Sharpen straight-edge knives at home using a whetstone or knife sharpener designed to sharpen at a 16-degree angle, or have them sharpened by a professional. 
    • Sharpen serrated knife at home using a sharpener designed for a serrated blade, or have it sharpened by a professional.
    • Store knives in safe place to protect edges and prevent injury.
