Maintenance tips and recommendations.
To keep your chef's knife in optimal condition, we recommend washing it by hand with mild soap and warm water. As with any good knives, you should avoid the dishwasher as the aggressive cleaning can quickly shorten the life of your knives. After washing, make sure to dry the knife immediately and carefully to avoid stains.

Store
Properly storing your kitchen knife in a knife block is essential to not only ensure safety, but also to extend the lifespan of your knives. By storing them in this way, you prevent damage to the cutting edges and ensure that they are always within reach when you need them.
