Usage Tips:
After use, wash the knife and preferably wipe it dry or let it air dry on a rack.
Avoid washing knives in the dishwasher, as the chemicals used can cause discoloration on the blade, permanent damage to the handle, or the blade itself.
Proper knife storage is also essential. The most recommended options are magnetic strips and magnetic boards, as they protect the knife while it rests during kitchen work.
Traditional slotted blocks require attention when inserting and removing knives to preserve their edge. Remember to thoroughly dry them before storage, as the closed construction of the block does not provide proper ventilation for the knives.
Preserving the quality of the blades also involves using the right cutting boards. Wooden and bamboo boards are recommended, while glass and stone boards are not.
Additionally, avoid cutting frozen products, bone-in items, and submerging the blade in boiling water during the cooking process.
If your kitchen knives go unused for an extended period, you can lubricate them with camellia oil to keep them in good condition.
Following these guidelines will allow you to enjoy the benefits of these beautifully crafted, perfectly sharp knives for many years.
