Use & maintenance
A good knife requires a little attention. If you provide that, you will enjoy it for years to come.

• Wash the knives by hand in warm water with a little dish soap.
  
• Dry them thoroughly immediately after washing.
  
• Do not put them in the dishwasher. That is harmful to the steel and the finish.
  
• Keep them sharp with a whetstone or honing steel. Honing them regularly works better than sharpening them heavily once in a while.
  
• Cut on a wooden cutting board. Avoid glass, marble, and stone, as these will quickly dull the cutting edge.
  
• Store the knives in a knife block, on a magnetic strip, or in their original packaging. Storing them loose in a drawer will compromise their sharpness.
