Care instructions
- 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
