      Knife Maintenance
      • Never put knives in a dishwasher.
      • Hand wash knives and thoroughly dry the blade with a soft, dry cloth to maintain the blade's sharpness and quality.
      • Clean the blades with soapy water.
      • If the knives have wooden handles, dry them thoroughly before storing them.
      • Knives do not stay sharp forever, regardless of the blade; it is therefore recommended to sharpen them as soon as the edge becomes less sharp.
      • Do not use the knife's edge to push food on the cutting board. Prefer using the back of the blade instead.
      • Never use the abrasive side of sponges to clean the blades.
      • Cut food on a wooden cutting board to avoid damaging the knife blade.
      • Do not cut food in a pan or baking dish to prevent damaging the knife blade.
