After each use, make sure that the knives are washed without delay (with a mild detergent) and dried off with a soft cloth. Acidic foods in particular should be rinsed off immediately after use. - For your own safety, you should always wipe the knife away from your body and away from the cutting edge with a cloth or towel. - Knives do not belong in the dishwasher, under any circumstances. Always wash the knives by hand to protect the material and maintain long-lasting sharpness. Sharpening & Care- Ensure that all knives with natural wooden handles do not remain in the water for too long. Oil the handle from time to time with a little neutral vegetable or camellia oil. - It is also advisable to have the knives professionally resharpened from time to time to repair signs of wear on the cutting edge and to ensure lasting sharpness. - Due to the high degree of hardness of our knives, sharpening steels are completely unsuitable. From the traditional whetstone to a complete electric system, our range offers the right tool for each of our knives. Storing- When storing the knives, make sure that the blade does not come into contact with other metallic objects. This way, common causes of damage and staining can be avoided. - The best way to store the knives is in a knife block, in a wooden drawer insert, on a wooden magnetic knife rack, or in the drawer with a blade guard or sheath.
