• 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.
