Knife care for stainless steel knives

• Never put in the dishwasher.
• Dry thoroughly after handwashing and do not store unless fully dry.
• Do not cut through bones, frozen foods or extremely dense items.
• Always cut with a smooth action and never twist the blade, sideways pressure will damage the blade.
• Use Japanese waterstones to sharpen your knife.
