    Care

    keyboard_arrow_down
    add remove

    • Never put the knives in the dishwasher.
    • Wash the knives by hand and wipe the blade thoroughly with a dry, soft cloth to keep the edge performing well.
    • Clean the blades with soapy water.
    • If your knives have a wooden handle, dry it thoroughly before storing.
    • No knife stays sharp forever, whatever the blade: sharpen it as soon as the edge cuts less cleanly.
    • Do not use the edge of the knife to sweep food across the board; use the spine of the blade instead.
    • Never use the rough side of a sponge to clean the blades.
    • Cut on a wooden board to avoid damaging the edge of your knives.
    • Do not cut in a pan or an oven dish, which damages the blade.
