Care and storage

• After using the knife, clean it with a soft sponge and mild detergent. Then rinse it well with water and dry the knife with a clean cloth. Do not use hard materials such as scouring pads or stainless steel sponges to clean the knife.
• Never wash the knife in the dishwasher.
• To avoid rust, never store the knife in a damp place or in a dirty condition. Please wash the knife immediately after cutting pickled vegetables or citrus fruits to avoid damaging the blade.
• If you use the knife frequently, we recommend sharpening it every 3 months to maintain its sharpness.
• Wave blade knives such as bread knives must not be sharpened.
• If signs of rust are found on the knife, wash it with a sponge and mild dish soap. You can then grind the affected area with a grindstone.

Sharpening the knife

We advise against using cheap knife sharpeners as this can change the angle of the blade.
