FAQs

How do I clean the knife?

Wash the knife by hand with warm water and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately.

How often should I sharpen the knife?

Hone the knife before each use with a honing steel. Sharpen with a sharpening stone when the blade becomes dull, typically every few months depending on use.

Can I put the knife in the dishwasher?

No, it is recommended to wash the knife by hand to protect the blade and handle.

What is the warranty on the knife?

Warranty information is not available in the product data.

What kind of cutting board should I use?

Use wooden or plastic cutting boards to protect the blade.

How do I store the knife?

Store the knife in a knife block, on a magnetic strip, or in a drawer with a blade guard.

What is the scalloped edge for?

The scalloped edge (small oval wells in the blade) prevents food from sticking to the blade.

Troubleshooting

The knife feels dull.

Hone the blade with a honing steel before each use. If honing does not restore sharpness, sharpen the knife with a sharpening stone.

Food is sticking to the blade.

Ensure the blade is clean and dry. Try using a slicing motion rather than a chopping motion. If food continues to stick, the blade might need sharpening.

The blade has rust spots.

Dry the knife immediately after washing. Use a rust remover designed for kitchen knives, and consider a blade oil.
