Usage tips
1. Use the Right Knife for the Job
Each type of knife has a specific role!
– Use a chef's knife for large, everyday chopping.
– A paring knife for delicate chopping.
2. Maintain Your Knife's Sharpness
Sharpen your knives regularly with a high-quality whetstone to maintain optimal performance with every use.
3. Cut on a suitable surface.
Avoid hard surfaces like glass or marble.
Use wooden or plastic cutting boards to protect the blade.
4. Hand Wash Gently
To prolong the life of your knife, hand wash it with warm water and mild soap, and dry it immediately.
Avoid placing it in the dishwasher.
5. Store It Safely
Use a knife block or magnetic cover to protect your knives from friction and damage…for added safety in the kitchen.
6. Beware of Misuse
Knives are designed for cutting food only. Do not use them to open cans or break bones unless specifically designated for that purpose.
Instructions
Cleaning
• Handwash gently with warm water and mild soap.
• Dry immediately with a soft towel – never air-dry.
• Do not place in dishwasher – it can cause rust and dull the blade.
Storage
• Store safely in a knife block, magnetic strip, or blade guard.
• Avoid drawers without protection to prevent dulling and accidents.
Sharpening & Maintenance
• Use a honing rod every few uses to maintain sharpness.
• Have your knife professionally sharpened when needed – typically every 6–12 months.
• Avoid cutting frozen foods or bones to preserve blade integrity.
Safety Tips
• Always cut on wood or plastic boards – avoid stone, glass, or marble.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Use caution – blades are extremely sharp.
Special Note
• Damascus steel blades may develop a patina over time – this is normal and part of their character.
• To protect the pattern, occasionally apply a light coat of food-grade mineral oil.
