KNIFE CARE
Care for your kitchen knives for a long durable knife life. In addition to keeping the edges of the knives razor sharp and shiny, there's nothing wrong with giving the whole knife a little love every now and then. Below are some of my tips.
Clean by hand washing
This knife should be cleaned by hand washing! Washing machines risk damaging both the handle and the blade. (This applies to all kitchen knives in your home).
Sharpen the knife
To keep the edge sharp, use a whetstone or a whetstone. Keep the angle at 15% and sharpen it with a few strokes often to maintain sharpness.
Use a wooden cutting board
Use a wooden cutting board to protect the blade. Using the knife on other surfaces can damage the blade. Also, try not to cut frozen items.
Treat the handle of the knife
To protect your handle, we recommend treating your handle with oil. Use a natural oil, such as that from rapeseed oil. Soak a cloth in the oil and massage it into the handle. Repeat this a couple of times each year.
