Knife Care Guide

Good care helps keep kitchen cutlery clean, organized and ready for its intended use. Always follow any instructions supplied with the specific product.

After each use

• Handle the blade carefully and keep fingers clear of the edge.
• Wash by hand with mild dish soap and water unless the product's confirmed instructions state otherwise.
• Dry the blade and handle thoroughly before storage.
• Do not leave a knife loose in a sink or submerged where it cannot be seen.

Cutting surfaces

Use a stable cutting board appropriate for kitchen knives. Very hard surfaces such as glass, stone or metal can damage an edge.

Storage

Store knives securely in a sheath, block, rack or other suitable holder that protects the edge and prevents accidental contact. Keep knives out of reach of children and anyone who should not handle them.

Sharpening

Use a sharpening method suitable for the knife's blade and follow the tool manufacturer's instructions. If you are unsure, seek a qualified professional.

Safety

Carry a knife with the point directed safely downward and the edge away from your body. Never try to catch a falling knife. Do not use a damaged handle or blade; stop using it and contact the seller for guidance.

Confirm model-specific care instructions before publication. Do not describe a knife as dishwasher-safe, rust-proof or maintenance-free unless documented for that model.
