Use & Care

• 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 a mild detergent. Rinse and dry immediately.
• Maintain the knife's cutting edge by regularly using a honing steel.
• Sharpen as needed. With regular use and honing, your knives should not need sharpening more than once or twice a year.
• Sharpen straight-edge knives at home using a whetstone or knife sharpener, or have them sharpened by a professional.
• Sharpen serrated knife at home using a sharpener specifically designed for a serrated blade, or have it sharpened by a professional.
• Store knife in a safe place to protect its edge and prevent injury.
