Zwilling Kanren Prep Knives, Set of 2

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.
• Avoid using cleaners containing bleach and citrus extracts.
• Sharpen as needed. With regular use and honing once a week, knives should not need sharpening more than once or twice a year.
• Sharpen knives at home using a whetstone or sharpener designed to create edge angles between 9 1/2 and 11 degrees, or have knives sharpened by a professional.
• Store in safe place to protect edges and prevent injury.
