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 mild detergent. Rinse and dry immediately.
• Use honing steel only when knife has lost some of its original sharpness, usually no sooner than 6 months after first use.
• Sharpen knife at home using whetstone or knife sharpener, or have it sharpened by a professional.
• Gently wipe exterior of storage block with damp, soft cloth.
• Do not immerse block in liquids, as this may cause splitting and decrease in overall quality.
• Allow block to completely dry before storing knives.
• Apply thin layer of mineral oil to block 1–2 time a month; remove acrylic and tools before applying oil.
• Store knives in safe place to protect edges and prevent injury.
