Use

• Always use caution when handling sharp objects.
• Avoid cutting on hard surfaces such as stone, metal and glass.
• It is not advisable to use any knife but a meat cleaver to cut through bone, as other blades can be easily damaged.

Care

• Hand-wash with warm water and mild detergent.
• Rinse and dry immediately.
• Use honing steel only when knives have lost some of their original sharpness – usually no sooner than 6 months after first use. With continued use, knives will require more frequent honing. If you need to hone knives more than once every 2 weeks, it is time to have them sharpened.
• Sharpen straight-edge knives using whetstone or knife sharpener, or have them sharpened by a professional.
• Sharpen serrated knife using sharpener specifically designed for serrated blade or have it sharpened by a professional.
• Store knives in safe place to protect edges and prevent injury.
