Care
Looking after it.
A sharp knife is a safe knife. Keep the edge, and the edge keeps you cooking.
The full care guideMild soap and warm water.
Mild soap and warm water. The dishwasher dulls the edge.
Wipe the blade dry straight away.
Wipe the blade dry with a soft cloth straight after washing.
Block, sheath or magnetic strip.
In a knife block, a sheath or on a magnetic strip, where the edge can't knock against anything.
Use a knife sharpener.
Use a knife sharpener when the edge becomes dull.
Realign the edge between sharpening sessions.
A honing rod realigns the edge between sharpening sessions. Sharpening restores a dull edge.
Avoid
- The dishwasher
- Leaving it wet
- Loose drawers, where the edge knocks against other tools.
Is it dishwasher-safe?
No. The dishwasher dulls the edge. Wash it by hand with mild soap and warm water, and wipe the blade dry straight away.
How should I store it?
In a knife block, a sheath or on a magnetic strip, where the edge can't knock against anything. Not loose in a drawer.
