Before using for the first time
Wash, rinse and dry the knife before using
it for the first time.
Cleaning
— Knives prefer to be washed by hand.
The knife is unlikely to be rendered useless
if washed in a dishwasher, but the edge can
be damaged, the blade may corrode or the
surface on the handle may become dull.
— Wash and dry the knife directly after
use. That prevents any risk of bacteria
spreading from, for example, raw chicken
to fresh vegetables.
— To avoid unsightly marks on the blade,
dry the knife immediately after it has been
washed.
Storing and using your knife
— Avoid cutting through frozen or very
hard foods (for example, bones), because
this can cause the edge to bend or shards
to loosen in the blade. If you cut into hard
foods: Pull the knife back and forth through
the food. Do not rock the knife from side to
side.
— Always use a chopping board made of
wood or plastic. Never cut on a surface of
glass, porcelain or metal.
— Store your knife in a knife block or on a
magnetic strip on the wall. Storing knives
in the right way protects the edge and
