Usage Tips:
After use, it should be washed and preferably wiped dry or left to air dry on a rack.
Washing knives in a dishwasher is not allowed. The chemicals used in dishwashers can cause discoloration on the blade, damage the handle, or the blade itself.
Proper knife storage is also important. Magnetic strips and magnetic boards are highly recommended as they protect the knife during its "rest" while working in the kitchen.
Traditional slot-style knife blocks require attention when inserting and removing knives to preserve their sharpness. Remember to thoroughly dry them beforehand because the closed construction of the block doesn't provide good ventilation for knives.
Maintaining the quality of the edges also involves using appropriate cutting boards. Wooden and bamboo cutting boards are recommended, while glass and stone boards are definitively discouraged.
Additionally, pay attention to not cutting frozen products with bones or immersing the blade in boiling water during the thermal processing of prepared dishes.
You can lubricate long-unused kitchen knives 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.
