• We recommend hand washing your knives
• After each use, wash with warm water and mild- to medium-strength soap
• Rinse and thoroughly dry with a soft towel
• Don't soak or submerge 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 soaking for long periods in aluminium pans or a stainless steel sink
• Always store securely in a knife block or sheath to preserve the cutting edges and prevent personal injury

How to sharpen your knives with a counter top sharpener:

• 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
• Slide the blade back and forth in a sawing-like motion

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

The lifetime warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship, however, excludes normal wear and tear and misuse.
