Troubleshooting

Knives feel dull after regular use

Use a honing steel to realign the blade edge or use a professional sharpener to restore sharpness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your knives in peak condition, follow these maintenance steps:

Initial Setup: Wipe the blades with a damp cloth and mild soap before first use. Ensure they are completely dry before inserting them into the block.
Hand Washing: Always hand wash the knives in warm, soapy water. Avoid using the dishwasher, as the high heat and harsh detergents can damage the blades and handle materials.
Drying: Dry immediately after washing. Never leave knives soaking in the sink.
Storage: Ensure the wooden block is placed on a flat, stable surface away from stove-top heat sources to prevent the wood from drying out or warping.
Maintenance: Periodically use a honing steel to realign the blade edge to maintain cutting performance.
