Care & Maintenance

Care:
Clean with a soft sponge and dry immediately after use. Always wash knives by hand—do not use a dishwasher, as the high heat and harsh detergents can damage the blade and handle. Additionally, avoid leaving knives in the sink after use. Prolonged exposure to moisture can dull the blade faster over time and increases the risk of injury when handling other dishes. Store safely to protect the blade and ensure longevity. Avoid cutting into bones, frozen foods, or hard fruit pits.

Cutting Surface:
For best results, use wood, rubberized boards, high-end composites, or quality plastics like polyethylene as your cutting surface. These materials help preserve and extend the knife's edge. Avoid glass, metal, countertops, or other rigid, unforgiving surfaces.

Sharpening:
To maintain optimal performance, we recommend sharpening knives using whetstones, which deliver the finest results for your blades.

What types of knives do I need in my kitchen?

How do I choose the right knife for me?

Choosing the right knife depends on your cooking style and preferences. Consider the blade material, handle comfort, weight, and balance. It's often helpful to handle a knife before purchasing to ensure it feels comfortable and suits your needs.

How do I properly care for my knives?

To properly care for your knives, hand wash them with mild soap and water, dry them immediately, and store them in a knife block or on a magnetic strip. Avoid putting them in the dishwasher, as the high heat and detergents can damage the blade and handle.

What is the best way to sharpen my knife?

What is the difference between forged and stamped knives?

Forged knives are made from a single piece of steel, heated and then shaped, resulting in a heavier, more durable knife. Stamped knives are cut from a sheet of steel and tend to be lighter and less expensive. Both types have their advantages, depending on your cooking requirements.
