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.
- Store in safe place to protect edges and prevent injury.
