Care instructions
- It is not recommended to wash your knife in a dishwasher
- The performance of your knife can be diminished if not cared for properly
- After each use, carefully wash cutlery by hand with warm water and mild- to medium-strength soap
- Rinse and thoroughly dry it with a soft towel
- Cutlery should not be soaked or submerged for long periods
- If chlorine or bleach products come in contact with the blade, thoroughly rinse off immediately. Chlorine and bleach products discolour and pit high-carbon steel
- Avoid long periods of soaking in aluminium pans or a stainless steel sink
- Remove cutlery from condiments (such as mayonnaise) stored in aluminium or stainless steel pans
- Always store cutlery in a cutlery block or sheath to preserve the cutting edges and prevent personal injury
- The magnetic knife board can be wiped down with a damp cloth

- Hold the sharpener on the table with your left hand
- Insert the knife blade into the slot
- Press down to bring the knife edge into firm sustained contact with both of the two internal diamond-coated discs

How to sharpen your knives with a sharpening steel:
- Hold the sharpener in a near vertical position, resting on a non-slippery surface
- Start with the heel of the knife against the one side of the steel
- Maintain light pressure while drawing the knife down the shaft of the steel
- Continue the motion drawing the knife all the way through to the tip
- Repeat the action with the blade against the steel on the other side
- Repeat these steps to complete the honing of the knife
